It came today! Yay!

I am quite satisfied with the build quality (basically as good as a regular buggy/truggy, just smaller) so I think this will be a success. :) The center diff mount and F/R braces are plastic. Not a big deal since it seems strong enough.

No pics yet, sorry. Maybe tomorrow. The only thing I've done so far is put together the shocks, servo, and wing - not too much progress today.

Anyway, the pitch is Mod1 strangely enough. I would've been willing to bet it would be something like 32p. Anyway, the spur is 46T, and the diffs are standard 3.31:1 ratio. They just used a shallower diff cup. I think a Kyosho spur may fit on the center diff since it uses a "standard" diameter diff cup.

One confusing thing though; it came with Proline tires and rims, but also another set of just rims. But this extra set has a different bead geometry than the Proline rims. Kinda odd.
