interesting concept no doubt, but we need to see em run in an average joe's hand before we can say it's the next great buggy. Kudos on the design though Josh!

How about weight?

Will it be the new lighter buggy in the market?

Pause it at 1:31 of the video and check out the antenna placement, not where the hara is but defniatly where the cr8 is. Unless of couse the receiver and battery are reversed.

At the 1:30 mark in the video, Hara runs a buggy with a white body. Also notice the Black Tank Pull, Just like the one in the pics of the CR8. Also notice how narrow the body is and the front shock tower. Its the CR8, No doubt.

I talked to Jesse today about taking some pics. Josh was not around at this point in time. Jesse declined, opting to defer the decision to Josh. I didn't go back, but I will try again, asking Josh specifically at some point over the w/end.

I wouldn't see why taking pics would be a problem since they are already out there.

I guess that they are still in R&D and testing new prototype parts. At the end they will let everyone know about their new design but not do a full desclosure. Also the RC industry is getting very competitive and the battle for who has the must radical new design is on. I guess everything started with the Losi 8ight.

It is still in the testing/pre production stage.Being that my day job involves production this means that the current design is still subject for change and possible theft and slight tweak in design to make it his/her design.So that being said don't expect much as of right now.

i agree with others, it does look to be a CR8. The antenna placement, fuel tank pull, and the cut of the center of the front shock tower, all same as the CR8
