I was gitty till I saw the sidwinder.....they better have a roller.
You know what, a MM Pro and Castle's future 2200-L motor would be perfect for this! Too bad that 2200-L or whatever they call it is still nonexistent

As for the truck, I won't hold my breath. Something tells me it will be a flop in the grand scheme of things, especially the nitro version. Based on my limited experience the G3.0 isn't that great of an engine (though I think that of all small block and the smaller big block HPI engines) . HPI REALLY needs to step it up and go with some decent shocks instead of two shocks per corner... this is an 1/10 after all.

I was wondering the same thing. Must be to stop twist on the shock tower on bad landings as the shocks meet in the centre. Either that or they are really cheap
