that could probally be fixed with a mod or 2 to the wheel hexes to get it within spec., so that's really no biggie having to trim 1mm per side.Heck you may even be able to do it by moving some axle shims around or something easy like that.

Looks like it has knock off proline bead locks. They look exactly like them

ROAR is probably measuring the wheels. Venom is probably measuring the body.

Alot closer to ROAR legal than a Strike.

I believe that Venom would know the rules or wouldnt have said what they said.

For 2 months Kyosho's website had their new SC truck with the same specs as a RT5. This truck will be ROAR legal.

doesnt it look like you could put the motor mount plate on the other side in the mid motor configuration,then run the motor the opposite direction,so that the torque of the motor wouldnt fight weight transfer? or am i one cog off? it might not let you run sensored motors that way,but at least the motor would be spinning the right direction.

Cool, thanks. I've seen it listed as low as $169.99 albeit Out Of Stock but still. I just may pre-order this vehicle.

Yeah, I've seen it marked at $169 also. I actually have it bookmarked on my laptop because I planned on pre-ordering it at that price
