Fixed it. Lol Not saying it's without good reason, thus my own reservations on this car. I could make a skid and swap everything from my wraith with the Miller chassis and that would be excellent.

Assuming the parts are made available, I could certainly see the tube chassis and body being big sellers. I would love to see this rig side by side with a Bomber for a size comparison

RC Driver: This is a great RC!

1 pack of relatively slow, easy driving and the vehicle practically disintegrated

RC Driver: It fell apart, but this is a great RC!

Lol exactly my thoughts..... Somebody postet something like this on the rockcrawler forum in Germany and got slaughtered...I guess people see what they want to see.

RC Girl had a brief moment in her review video with both cars next to each other. They look very similar in wheelbase and width.

Another bit of weirdness with this kit:

It looks from the manual that the wheels aren't hex driven, but pin driven. I don't see a hex in the exploded parts diagram for the front or rear axle. I don't think that will cause reliability problems, as hex driven wheels are really just pin driven wheels with an extra part to fail.

But it does make upgrading the wheels to some other 2.2 wheels a bit trickier. I also noticed that none of the prominent YouTube RC reviewers removed the wheels in their videos...

the axial spawn came with pin drive hubs they absolutely sucked even after upgrading to metal pin drive hubs they still striped out
I've never stripped a hex even after converting the spawn over
I don't know why the pin drive hubs strip so easy but they did
the axial wheels has slw style adaptors so it was a easy fix

from what I can see it looks like this rig has the 6 bolt slw style hub as well but I can't tell from the video but I do see 6 bolts there

Well that was faster than expected! My Miller Motorsports rig just arrived!

Unfortunately, my box won't be opened anytime soon. It'll either be a birthday (Nov 15) or Christmas present. I ordered some LX (Longxue) 1/10 bypass shocks to make up the 2nd shock at each corner.

I like the scale looks for sure, but I agree with most here that in a legit U4 race, it's gonna have a hard time seeing the end of the day in one piece. I think our track would eat it up pretty quick.
