Not likely. Wouldn't be too good a move to go metric when 99% of the 1/12th scales out there use standard parts anyway.

Really? Hmmm the threads on the close up pic of the roll spring adjustment screw looks standard. Well guess we'll have to wait and see.

exactly the reason why they would go metric, because everyone else is standard, always the old balls with this car.

i'm going to hate myself for saying this, cuz these threads always have at least one person comparing it to something else, so i guess i'll be "that guy"...
didn't HPI do a similar rear suspension back in the mid 90's?
but those shocks show some SERIOUS thinking outside the box.

If I had any money and inclination to move back into 1/12th, this really looks like a winner to me. I still remember how I loved how my original CRC carpet knife worked with a linked rear pod. Parts were a pain though, which is why if AE has gone this route will make it much easier.
"L" is gone since the Losi rear pod has evolved past (minus conversion shown). Whats the R for? Road?
Since much of AE items are being made by Thunder Tiger, I would think/hope its metric. As someone said, its time we got past these X/X".

I am thinking the R might stand for the First letter in robert(bob) stellflue he is one of the head engineers over at ae. Just a guess LOL as i am probably wrong on that though.

Odd that they took the pictures with CRC rear rims and a different brand front rim. Parma?

Are the rear pods finally lowered?
