Got the car!
I especially like the molded radio tray, makes things easy including removal for cleaning.
The 2-stage air filter is excellent.
Dog bones rear, CVDs front.
Plenty of inward suspension, at rear the inwards bent chassis helps here, too.
Throttle servo ok, but not ideal for the "rubber band" config because it has so much "drag". Replaced it with a brushless futaba that I had lying around. Steering servo fine.
Radio is very basic black plastic 2.4gHz, RX extra small. While it may be ok for occasional running I replaced with DX3R for racing.
Shocks are strong just like the rest of the car seems to be, too.
Very nice mud protections all around in the shafts & outdrives. Smooth lines, help cleaning, quality materials (?)
Weight reasonable 3430gr with the supplied nimh RX batt and AKA tires in running condition tank empty.
My concerns so far: Will the wing stay last? It's bolted onto the rear tower. Also, I remember having issues with some buggies witht the servo saver and steering servo, hopefully this one will work fine and not break in collisions.
Here are some photos from angles that you may not have seen already.
