This is all that's been said about the release date.

not sure if this has been asked, but can the vehicle use pin based rear wheels by removing the rear hex?

And now with direct support from HB, at least for the beginning, this might be my next car.

If you had a XX-4 and liked it then get the TLR 22-4. It's almost the same car.

I don't want to use belts anymore so I am waiting to get the D413. 3 oil filled diffs, tuning for everything, Shorty pack capable, etc.

LOL.

Though I can't talk much - I'm using a Sanwa ERG-VX servo that's older than my son . . . who goes to school.

i haven't tried but i think it's possible. you'd have to put some washers or spacers behind the pin so that when you tighten the wheel it has something to butt up against. you may have to shorten the pin a little too.

Just a general question, is there a reason why the some of the parts are anodized gold and not the traditional hotbodies purple? Is the gold going to be the color that comes on the car when it comes out??

The D413 is extremely strong. I just love that crash were Ryan C Spin out & Ty crash into him like nothing happen, but the b44 turn into pieces.

Almost won the worlds till the last lap. too bad for Ty Tessmann. but it's ok, it still prove to car once again at this event.

Cain, I have a pair of "pin spacers" that are 2mm wider that are aluminum. Shoot me a PM if you are interested. You can then alter your track width in the back of cars while still using pin type rims.
