i got ya, i just think that you can have great durability or light weight, but not both. the best vehicles seem to be a combination or compromise of the 2.

Until now! I am coming out with a line of hop ups and cars that are durable, light, and highly adjustable. The RC world is about to be revolutionized. Production begins late march or early april.

here is the story: i have a vorza with the tekno V4 conversion. i got it because it balances the car a lot better and has a straight center drive. but a lot of the components of the Vorza chassis i miss. i want to use the straight center drive and motor mount on the original vorza chassis. it would intail some mill work to reposition the center diff and putting the motor mount slots in a new position. i just dont have access to tools or skills to do that kind of stuff.

no i havent, i wanted to keep the straight drive train but use all the heavy duty components that come on the car stock. i like the battery tray better, the receiver box and the servo mounts better. but i like the tekno drive train and the motor mount better. i dont race, its purely for durability. plus i like the wider bodies and fit perfectly.
