Looks mostly nice quality and design. My main concern is the rx area, looks like futaba 603 won't fit. I also wonder how long the plastic diff gears will last. Why is the ackerman plate mounted bye bushings instead of bearings? The body and wing looks like an afterthought.
The battery holders are off-center (dislike towards saddle packs is just my personal pain).
I don't like moving the the weight of the turnbuckles outside.
The bulkheads are nicer then the average.
I can't see the why the need for 14mm hexes, they are a bigger unsprung rotating mass then 12mm. Do they want to run wheels soft as butter?
Cant see in the specs, what is the gearing range of the motor mount?

And on another note, who the %^&@%^%^* put that stupid javascript on the xray site that redirects to another page when I am at the bottom?
