I doubt a large class will develop but that thing looks like a blast on pavement and smooth dirt!

If those are regular touring car wheels, I think the body from this car might fit my Tamtech Frog. That would be sweet.

This looks like a fun car. It looks to me like a worked over 1/16 slash or mini e-revo.

Its funny for a while there my buddy and I were putting regular touring car wheels on our MERV's and driving them around racing our TC3's and TC5's. They were a lot of fun(Til we each sold our MERV's) but this makes me wish I kept it and just bought the parts to convert it over.

This car will fit into the MINI class (ABC hobbies, Tamiya M, HPI Cup Racer) and the 210mm wheelbase bodies should fit (less 4mm of wheelwell lexan). Once released will can see a side by side comparison to confirm this...

I really like this car and with Traxxas parts availability a MINI class on the rise this car should do well. Also Traxxas fans worldwide will make it a success!

Darn, yet another split in classes with now a 1/18th and 1/16th rally class. We are never going to get big enough to get ROAR.

(And looking at the car... you guys realize the high CG that thing has? They took the e revo and put shorter arms and tires on it. A top down servo?)

I think Traxxas should get over the revo platform. They've used it for all there "new" vehicles. Think about it guys....they havn't really realesed something new in a year or so (other that the slash 4x4)

just my opinion, I don't mean to offend anyone that likes the idea
