I have seen a moulded tub standard length buggy chassis in person, but as far as I know the only +8's in existence are aluminum.

I'm curious what the reason for switching to a plastic tub was? More flex? Less weight? Not questioning the decision- TD has earned my trust when it comes to vehicle design, would just like to know the reasoning behind the change.

Tower Hobbies has this kit listed on their website.

$289 with estimated stock early June.

Hoping TD has this kit done and is working on website release soon. Really want to get some official info on this truck.

Is the truck hex front or bearing?

I would think the front axle would carry bearings

I saw the SC and it was a hex front, bearings in the spindle, non adjustable trailing.

Yes both ST and SC 2wd trucks use hexes. Bearings in the spindles,etc.

I tested the molded chassis standard length and on a track with lots of bumps or low traction I think it might be the ticket. All my local tracks have done some track changing so I'm building two identical 2wd buggies save for the chassis so I can get some exact testing results.

Yes that was the case. I didn't have a production body in time to make cactus so I had to make something work. This was the best I could do with what bodies I had available locally.

I'm told the production body is quite sexy

Yeah yeah, I never claimed to be as fast as Fish daddy

In my defense I was simply shaking down the truck at the Cactus. I didn't even get it on the track until Q2. It's been 2 years since I ran the class.

Gerde and I were changing the setup each run to suit my driving style,etc.

I'm working on my setup while testing some new things on the truck.

Now that's what I call a job perk- Just working with Gerde on my setup a bit, no big deal...
