As per TLR front end mod, very large front (hub level/ ground level) offset...Going to make for a lively front end.. let's see how that is on the world's track.

Direct link to the pictures without going through a crummy social media platform.

the product appears to checkmark all of the latest design trends. are there any new/unique features that move the proverbial bar in the category?

Something unique- looks like you can change roll bars without disassembling bulkheads like most cars… the bar retainer is a plate like the 1/8 cars

like the variable rear lower shock mount as well

im sure there are more little details we can’t see yet

but the quality is what will set it apart from other brands , much like the lure to X-ray is the quality of the parts that sets them apart

Are they just buying TLR front end parts? Its a TLR with ae quick change diff and yokomo rear arms.

It could very well be more interesting than that, and I hope it is. We need to shake up things in 1/10.

Interesting, it's like if you put all the 3 main buggies (TLR, AE, YOK) in a blender and bakes the result to a crips at 350F for 5 hours.

I like the rear shock mount, curious to see how it'll retain its position after multiple track days and how you measure it for a setup sheet.

Also curious on MSRP since Mugen isn't exactly cheap.

The rest look pretty ''normal'' very YZ2 esque. But yeah , I was hoping for something mayne a little more drastic ? I feel like 2wd and 4wd buggy have been looking the same with it comes to shaft drive for a good 5years

I was not expecting this. It looks good. It's interesting that they mentioned working on 4wd car as well.

It's always good to have more options. There's nothing drastically different here though.
