will you have a revised V1.1 interactive set-up sheet posted anytime soon...
Let me know what you want to add. It'll likely get revised when the 2005 spec hits the states otherwise. The details on that are getting ironed out for the world version. We have no other details on that yet. The April RC World has the Japanese 2005 Spec car on pg 44.

Does anyone have the magazine that he mentioned?

Just wondering about the details. It just seems like this new version just has optional parts that you can already buy.

Or is there something actually new we haven't seen yet as far as parts?

Thanks for the pics....

Everything looks pretty much just same with just some optional pieces.

That version definitely looks like an outdoor oriented version with the thinner topdeck.

That new motormount/heatsink looks nice though. We were dremeling out the ends like that one in the pic to make it easier to get your motor in and out.

-----------

The new Hotbodies cars is definitely sharp....my only concern is I don't think it will make a good foam tire car....might be to flexible. Otherwise if you run rubber tires it looks bada##

I'm sure they'll offer a thicker chassis option like the PRO4 for carpet.
