And that's a very good choice, the car is already excellent converted. No need to make a revolution to the design to make it efficient.

I would love to compare it to the rcmonster and tekno v4 conversions I'm running on my JQ right now.

If the car is reliable, it will be a blast to drive. I'm racing mine since two years with very good results

It should be easier to drive compared to the nitro version too, considering the weight is more in the back.

It should be light too, I'm very curious about its weight

It looks like I might get an electric car after all, mainly a nitro fan & have the JQ rtr & yellow but this electric will also find its way here. I like how they stuck with the same front & rear ends & suspension to, atleast I won't run short of parts if I need them & can't get them fast enough.
Don't know how much difference the new ackerman & shorter turnbuckles will make but I guess if there going to that set up then maybe its a better option for the nitro cars as well.
If the nitro cars are anything to go by then I think this electric version will also be a great car & a great performer.

Hey Clint, hopefully the conversion kit is released soon as well, I'm not sure if I should convert my RTR or leave it nitro & just get the electric kit.
Nitro RTR might be good to keep as a bashing buggy.

I think its meant to be available soon, like mid April or something I think.
They were being sent out to people in "THE 100" then shipped to distributors world wide so it should be to far away.

Just heard a dirty rumor that the release of this buggy has been delayed by a few months? Can anyone verify this?
