I have a feeling I'll be buying one of each chassis type when they come out. That truck style cage really has me excited though. Can't wait to fab up a dash, as much of an interior as I can fit in it, and fill the bed with scale goodies. Fungi, any thoughts on selling a printed roof rack as an add on?

Put a Specter chassis and 15 motors to rewind in a box this morning. I didn't get the rims done, I'm working on some custom design ideas specifically for Dan, but I will have to ship them later.

I did make floor boards, and a dash. I tried a few materials including polycarbonate, and was able to cut some parts from styrene.

I'm going to town after lunch to ship it.

Any pics of the interior parts?

If you were building one right now, what would you put in it? ESC, motor, etc.?

These chassis lend themselves toward Losi drive train with 90T motors. It is not known if the acrylic material the chassis are made from can withstand the abuse from the speed of the Redcat drive train.

SO with the 90T, would it be closer to a smaller scale Wraith, lending more to speed than crawling, like a rock racer? Guess we need some real running vids over different types of terrain. Your mountain one is great, but doesn't really show speed.

I'm getting excited!!! I may be sleeping at the mailbox for a few days

The 90t is slower than stock. It will be a rock crawler not a racer. The only good way to make it a racer would be a 40 or 50 turn stroker. The stock motors just can't handle being wound as fast motor without getting too hot. Additionally the ESC will suffer. I LOVE my rig that has a 45t stroker. Totally can be a crawler and also hold it's own in rock bouncing.

Dan we are counting on you not to slow this down! We expect a full build thread the same day of arrival! Lol I cant wait to see how this does with a stroker. I'm thinking that will be a better option than the brushless set up I was thinking about using so I can actually do some crawling.

I will be installing a 80t Predator motor first as most people want to see it done that way. also it will be easier on the first go to make it all fit. Plus I want to make sure that the stroker is the right thing to do before I just throw it in there.

COOL!!!

Which one is that? Did we ever see the narrow version?

I have a set of redcat axles for it I thought I would never use. Glad I didn't sell them!
