well, considering how many different manufactures there are for 1/8th scale and how how many losi sponsered drivers there are driving every type of 1/8th scale car at the moment. you'll be seeing all of the losi drivers with this and most likely it'll be filling up the A-mains everywhere.
That is if Associated makes one, then that kind of hangs most of the other companies out to dry as far as top sponsored drivers goes!
Are there going to be any hard feelings from some of those companies like Ofna/Jammin X1CR losing Adam Drake, Aaron Waldron? That car was doing pretty well, I had one and loved it. But The American made factor with Losi is always an attention getter when I'm looking for the top of the line buggy/truck.
