The one bad on this v4 is that body. I was o hoping they'd keep the styling of the current body rather than go cab forward. Having said that, this Cab Forward design is the smoothest and sleekest looking Cab Forward design to date.

I hope a Kuhler body will be released for it if the current one doesn't fit, which I'm fairly certain is the case. Wish we had more to see on it though.

The v4 body is listed on TDs site as an option for the current model, so I would say the Kuhler will fit the v4.

Nope the new car is wider in the back. Wide will fit narrow but narrow will not fit wide. If that makes sense.

Even if it's a bit wider the Kuhler body might fit with a bit of flex without affecting anything. If it doesn't fit I hope Durango releases one.

Where are the pics or info showing/saying that it is wider? Actually, where is any information other than the one picture on TD's website and the fact that they said it has 15 improvements? Don't be greedy. Share.

I think most are assuming that what was seen at the worlds, is what we'll see in the v4.... (i.e. wide chassis)

How on earth can tell at it doesn't look any wider from a pic with nothing else in that pic for a size reference.

From looking at the parts listing on tower hobbies, I do not see a new chassis listed unless I am missing it. Appears to have changes to the diffs and the front and rear arms in addition to the universals.

Go back and look at some of the photos from worlds. The chassis and body the team were running there were significantly different than the new v4. I'm talking x-Ray and B44 wide with ample room to distribute electronics battery (They were experimenting with shorty packs and saddles.) different.

I was all amped up for the worlds type car, but it looks as if we will be seeing a revised v3 as opposed to a totally redesigned v4. I'm not complaining as at the very least we will be getting new arms, drive shafts etc. and Ryan Lutz ran the v3 and was ridiculously fast as always.

But I will admit I was all geeked up for a new design.
