I'll bet it even uses pistons in the oil to slow down the shock.......come on, can't you do something different? Then theres the whole lexan body thing. What is this 1990 or something. It still uses diff balls? are you serious!!!! LOL

^Sarcasm for the haters^
Casey, that was classic. You got to love sarcasm, I do.

What I really hate is it still uses radio signals for control. Think out of the box already, cable control is the new thing.

the 22 looks very interesting, it looks to use some xxx4 front parts and no captured hinge pins? hmm hope the composites are up to par, the durability seemed to be a issue on the 10th scale losi stuff or it could be the guys we race with. LOL anyway it looks like i might have to pick one up when it comes available ..... but it would be just like horizon to launch a toy instead of a racer, i'm just suprised it isn't a RTR tho.

The plastics are really good, we have been saying Kyosho quality on everything. Dustin broke one thing during testing(front hub)....jumped into a pipe on a corner and anything would have broke with that. Everything on the car is top quality and everything is captured hinge pins but for the rear hubs....
