I just saw a new shorty battery / chassis thread. Hopefully that discussion will move there instead. Then this thread can get back on track.

we're working on it. still finalizing the instruction manual and box design. this week we already had to ammend the box so that it says "2013 ROAR National Champion". i won't quote an exact date but hopefully before the year is out.
that's kinda part of the plan - to be able to mix and match different cabs with different sidepods. it started with me and Hara having different styling preferences - he likes the boxy high-forehead looks of the J-Concepts Punisher/Finnisher; i like the fighter jet cockpit look of the Tamiya Avante. for initial production i went with a look that's somewhat sleek and conservative but not too polarizing. who knows if we'll get to make alternate body sections because that sits on the lower end of priorities of things to do but i think it'd fun and interesting.

the recent news of hara and rumors of hpi/hb money woes explains why the HB tent at the roar nats was occupied by a couple of people. and tessman running the b44.1 at the pre-worlds. this buggy could be a shot in the arm for hot bodies. would hate to see the company tank. especially with the worlds coming.

will give this a try when it's released. Sold my zx-5 fs2 sp. Got bored by the unresponsive steering and understeer.
