I'm a little concerned as to how the batteries mount. There are no battery cups/bars/straps in that photo. Can't wait to see some high res pics of that chassis, it certainly looks very promising for the price.

It says in the description of the chassis that it includes battery "mounts". This chassis will give a lot of competition to the G-Maxx chassis!

I like the higher clearence for bashing around. The body will cover the batteries up to. I think it is pretty.

I hope it can support 7-8 cells flat for some seriously high cell counts. Unless is turns out to be a complete flop, I will probably buy one. Purely because of the extra 35mm, and the price, plus i reckon at 6mm thick its gotta be pretty sturdy.

The way the brace is under it makes it strong. Has the four mounting points per brace. I would be happy with 7 cell flat. It would look real nice with that new tranny on it.

I want to know if you can run 7cells flat on this chassis. Is there plans on making a regular length chassis to. I like the longer trucks but I also like the short ones in some ways to. I like to know more info on this. What about mounting the batteries?

FYI for this thread:

Mike normally races on Friday nights, so don't expect a reply from him regarding this product until either very late tonight or sometime tomorrow morning.

Electronics run on smoke... if you let the smoke out, they stop working.

I, however, am now re-thinking selling my E-Maxx :)
With this more economical chassis, I may just be able to afford the CVDs it also would need, heh.

Like I need another RC.

It is a good price. It looks strong to. I like that the braces are attached in the 4 points.

Maxxdude, If you look at the picture very close, there is a relief cut in the underside of the chassis.


Work because i gotta, play because i wanna

People here hate Nitro, I love it. I start it, run it about 50 ft from me and it dies, I go after it. Perfect exercise

Looks nice but heavy in comparison to the Gorilla.

Like the design though.
