It does look really light. I'd hesitate to say "fragile" or "flimsy" because CF is neither if used properly. The lighter weight will help it survive any crashes, too.

I'm going to guess the shock towers are 7075? They look to thin to be made from 6061, as it's not very stiff.

Overall I like it. If they make it with blue anodizing maybe I'll buy one.

This is almost like a bigger 1/10 buggy, which could do quite well if its able to handle some abuse. Many people have told me that a CF 1/10'ish electric 1/8 would be the best design for the track.

I think a few scrathes would ruin those good looks fast. Perfect for the pro's who rarely crash i guess.

I would rather have a converted Losi 810 if I wanted a light 1/8 buggy. But I like my normal 1/8's as they are.

I have the cars that I really wanted before I got them ;-)
