The build up to the car with the animation and giving more info each day was good to get people excited. Now its just irritating with so little information. With so many choices in the market your better to get your product and info out asap vs holding out. Years ago there wer two or three chocies for a 2wd buggy..... now at least six are fighting for the rc racers money.

From what it appears based off of their small bit of information is that this is 2 distinct cars that share 90% of their parts. Actually that much we do know. One is a true mid car with an aluminum chassis and slight gull wing arms, and the other a rear motor car with a composite (speculation) chassis and straight arms. It is not a convertible car but rather two very closely related platforms.

You can make 2 cars share 90% of the parts and not really be even close to each other when you start counting screws, diff parts, hinge pins, ball ends, bearings, turnbuckles and other little parts that make up a large quantity.
Heck we already know the 2 cars have different front arms and chassis. 2 major components. Who knows how many other major parts are part of that 10%.
All I really want are the front end parts anyway to test out on my X6 cubed and maybe the ball ends. Although since they seem like they're going to be metric anyway I might as well retap everything for M3 and use the serpent version because they're available now.

You'll probably see people swapping parts between cars to see how they like them such as gull wing arms on the rear motor car and vice versa.
