You can see it in this article.

Basically they have a planetary gear set between the drive shaft and in the pinion to add extra gear reduction at the axle. This is to reduce torque twist from the rear axle. It is actually a legitimate innovation...unlike their other patents.

I might finally buy a Traxxas product because of this truck. But first I will wait and see how they hold up in the hands of others. I already see several things that give me pause. For starters plastic 17mm wheel hexes? Really?? Not a big deal in the scheme of things, but that is a pretty basic thing these days for ~1/8 RCs, especially on 6S.

Here's to hoping they make a roller/kit without electronics....or I could just get a Yeti XL Kit....
