my guess is currently the only info is form the oople article, i would hope that they would put something like this out to be competative with all the other new buggies coming out. the stick pack design is i a bit iffy in my opinion. when i comes out i def want to get one, probably a fair price too.
but the thing that makes me the most happy, i want to implement those pivot blocks into the xxx4
now that would be sick, until the new kyosho comes out

It depends how you look at it...
Actually, the only similarity is the saddle pack and they moved the motor toward the middle. Everything else is the same as it was before. I wouldn't say the BJ4 WE influenced them much at all. Balance has always been something race engineers experiment with whether it's full scale or toy cars. The Kyosho Optima Mid Custom Special from the early 90's used saddle packs well before Jconcepts was around and they won the worlds with that format. Same story with Losi XX4 in the late 90's.

it kinda bugs me when people keeps saying every new buggies looks like a bj4, it deserves its credit, and that would be allot of it. But, as people have pointed out before, having a shaft and saddle packs does not make it based of the car, as in all forms of racing, its in the details. but im highly looking froward to this release, and im def considering a kyosho conversion.
