I can't put up a link to the page as i haven't made enough posts yet

Seems us in the UK have it before the US for a change as it's in stock over hear
They are not exactly the same. The new one uses a cheaper grade alloy, at least for the chassis.

It's listed as the same part number for old & new (103662)?

You should always research before giving advice though. The old Vorza had a chassis made from 7075 aluminum, the new one uses 6061.

So why does the new manual for the 2.4ghz Vorza say 103662 - Main chassis 4.0mm (7075S)

Whats the advantage of using the rear mount in the front, and do you use 112mm shocks all round

I think the chassis alloy are just the same. The euro site listed the chassis as 6061 but that's just a typo IMO.
As you say the part list shows the same reference, probably a more reliable source of info than the marketing pitch found on the website.

How would that be a typo? The numbers are way off and not even near each other. Also both numbers are types alloys. It really doesn't matter to me anyways.... I've got a Tekno chassis which I would suggest to upgrade to for everyone.

Either the website page is wrong or the part list is wrong. It just boils down to which one you think is right, since we have no mean to actually check.

I have the "older" vorza so it doesn't matter to me either. I've already upgraded to 2.4GHz, only thing I'm interested in is the new look.

soon, you will be pro, its quite easy.
the Mah, is the runtime. want more. 5000 mah is good for around 15 mins flat out

the S is the 'cell, (3.7v)' count, and sytands for 'series' this is the Volts you're running. more = more speed. 6s max for vorza.

C is the discharge speed. higher the better. vorza needs 25+.

get the best u can afford. i think Turnigy Nano-Techs are really impressive.
cheers
