I was just looking at that, I almost thought it was a solid rear axle. Wish it was! Either way I bet it's bad ass!! I can't wait to see the new stuff for the Ywin Hammers!!

So how is this not just another short course truck?

Marketing is the difference.

They are marketing it as a scalish "prerunner" basher. It will draw a different crowd than the short course racers guys.

"The Vaterra® Ford Raptor pre runner is engineered to be driven just like the awesome Raptor trophy trucks that compete in grueling, long distance desert races like the Baja 1000. Underneath its detailed body is a rugged 4WD chassis complete with long-travel suspension and metal gear VTV™ (Viscous Torque Vectoring) differentials. This, combined with its high-output Dynamite brushless power system, will allow you to tackle any terrain at speeds of over 55+ mph. And you’ll do so with the unbelievable stability of Spektrum™ AVC™ (Active Vehicle Control) technology that makes hundreds of steering and throttle corrections per second so you can drive faster with more control."

I don't know much about that style RC, but is that thing any different from a Losi SCT? Did they rebadge the Losi, or make something new?
