Ama-za-zing..... And we've only driven them in the parking lot.... None of us were able to break anything and we were jumping it across the 5 foot gap (and missing.....alot) The suspension is so perfect and looks very realistic. The weight layout is really nice I'm suprised how easy it is to control the rear to drift on polished concrete. We're going to be running a stock spec class and I think the 12T Titan is dead on for scale speed. Could use a tiny bit more power down low. The water-tight receiver box is definitely a nice touch. 3000mah packs are giving us approximately 10-15 minutes. Motors don't even get hot. |

Snap some pics of it next to a 2.2 or with someone holding it. Some of the pics I have seen it looks really big.

It's huge. Wheelbase is 13", next to an 1:8 scale buggy it looks identical. Wheels are about 1" wide and 2.2 tall. The RC4WD 1.9 Crushers are the exact height of the stock tires......

Talked to Noel, he said he tried the A123 3-cell pack today and it was awesome. I'll try this out on Monday and post a vid in the daylight.
