They are worm drive axles. And worm drive only work from input of the worm gear or in this case the drive shaft. No matter what the angle you are at when you let off of the throttle the axle self lock. So basicly drag brake is not required with worm drive.

Tires look like classic Kyosho Double Dare skins. I do like the stance of this buggy.

Ah that truck look better every time I see it. The body is wicked as well, I wonder what that body looks like un-cut.

Doubt it I was just on Kyosho America dot com. No mention of the rock force yet. But they do have the MFR listed.

If you guys click on the OP's link, you can download a video and it shows the rig using dig a number of times. Once for a turn around and again for a decent brake... But it says "optional rearl lock" durring these scenes.

Mmmm....I like what I see! Looks like they will be releasing more info tomorrow...and hopefully a price. This might be just what I am looking for...high speed worm drive and a brushless ;)

Also I believe the dig is an optional extra...extra $$$
