Yep, wheelies are cool. To a point and we all learn this at some point. The issue is they kept the 2 speed and mechanical brakes, so the brake servo is still there in the way of the pack being placed up front. The only other reason I can think of is convenience and cost. It makes the kit a bolt on affair, no modification to the chassis plates for the user, no new plates to manufacture. I was wondering when something like this would be availible, never thought they'd keep the 2 speed + mechanical brakes though. I wonder if the Excelerin could push the truck to decent speeds as a single speed though? Cause Losi would just be shooting themselves in the foot if they came out with a mount that accepted casle/neu motors.
