Sweet, thanks for sharing! Looks like it could be a lot of fun. Should be interesting as more specs are unvieled.

Theres a real picture of it on tsa's website in the sponsor section window. I was going to upload the screen shot but got sick of trying to get it under 97.7kb's, and don't have access to photobucket or any personal hosting sites at work :flipoff:

So click here and you can see it, it almost looks like it has an interior?

it would be cool if it had a solid rear axle and ifs in the front

Now their ad I've seen in some magazines makes sense "There Is A Finish Line Out There".

I don't think it will have a solid rear axle...

"PROJECT MINI-TROPHY 4WD DESERT TRUCK
With TSA and HPI working on parallel Mini-Trophy desert projects, the highlight is TSA utilizing an independent suspension design base for their new 1:1 desert truck. Ito was thinking independent suspension as well and while normal for R/C, independent suspension is not so normal in the 1:1 off road race vehicles, especially with trucks."

It looks like it will be a cool truck to have nonetheless"thumbsup"

I know there's a thread on it at rcshortcourse.com, but figured id post the link to the press release here. Looks pretty cool, i was hoping it would be a hair bigger, and a solid rear axle. An upside, it uses 1.9's. This equals a new super scale geo's, and for those who buy them, you should be able to mount up your fave scale tire/wheel combo.

i'd also like to see it without the cage on it. i wonder what car they borrowed the driveline from???

Click the press release link posted above.

Looks amazing, though the price scares me away...:shock:

$240 too spendy for you?

I really hope this will be close to final pricing, but then again Tower has been known to adjust pricing as final release draws near.

Oh, shoot... I thought I read somewhere it was gonna be closer to 400... but if it really is close to 250, I might have to get rid of the slash!:lmao:

the parts page says it has the RS4 dif in it, like the wheely king and MT2

Any one interested in a 2wd slash :ror:?

I'm thinkin the same thing!:lmao:

hmmm, interesting. i was wondering if they used the driveline off of that Brama basher buggy of theirs...

Ok - I love this thing! Do WANT!

"thumbsup"If it was solid rear axle I might get one, It is cool but I will pass. I will def be using some parts from it though"thumbsup"
