and the 17mm wheel nuts...just when I thought it could be Blitz based (been wanting to get into SCB, but wanted to share parts).

Oh well...

Yeah you're right. I just looked it up. Also, what is the relevance of the rear sway bar.

Looks like there could be another Apache, but a truck version? Look at 9.29.11 in this link.

Haha. Those DO appear to be 1/8 buggy wheels disguised as SC wheels/tires. Kind of odd, but I still want one!

I think this means there finally coming out with a 4wd sct, however I don't think it is going to be blitz based, and that's a disappointment.

Then this thing is going to drive awesome! It would be really cool if it shared the VE8 chassis. You could slap a HHH chassis on this thing and really make it drive nice

I believe its based off of the Vorza as far as motor and battery placement are concerned.

With all these new sct buggies coming out and sct being huge in general everybody seems to be concerned with scale appearance and realism. I would like to see some of the tracks be more realistic in the desert racing theme. Things like huge potholes, trenches, mudpitsl(or just a really wet part of the track). Loose rocks/boulders. Logs, etc.etc. of course it would ruin the track for everything but scts, but it would be cool to watch. Anyone who watched endurocross in the x games knows what I'm talking about. What do you think?
