Chassis looks very...naked. Should put the Slashes in their places quite nicely though, I wouldn't mind running a Neu 1506 or 1509 in one if my LHS starts up Short Course racing.
All I ever wanted was an honest weeks pay for an honest days work.
Looks like a stretched chassis Hyper ste. Should be very light. I run a 1509 on 2s in my hyper ste and it does very well, I can imagine a combo like that, maybe lower kv on 3s would be very good in this corr truck. Looks like a contender to the 4wd slash... I have a feeling the slash may be a bit stronger in the suspension dept...
I suppose me buying one would depend greatly on if they're going to make a 4wd SC class here in Tulsa area. Would be pointless otherwise. 1/8 scale is near dead in the area. Biggest class has been the stock slash class. I can only hope that this ARTR comes close to the price point of the Mini-STe. That would...rock.
I have a feeling this will be my next RC. Any ideas on a release date yet?
EDIT: Just looked at the link. Really dislike the 90% pre-assembled statement. I want to build it myself. Not that it will stop me from getting one, but a bit disappointing

I'm tryin to peek behind the wheels...figure out if it's a captured end or PBS for the linkage.
I'm thinking it's gonna be a stronger contender than the 4X4 slash. The suspension settings offer more adjustment than the stock slash.
Another plus for this one is the fact that there's no shaft (slash 4x4) that might mess up the diffs on hard impacts or subterranean exploration attempts.
