I think the truck should be good. I am interested to see what they do with the shock setup. I actually am starting to like the new body. its something different. we have had the same fastback style truggy bodies since they came out. so I guess it was time for a new style. I love that the engine sticks out. lots of cooling plus I think it looks sick. As for the shocks I hope they use normal rears in the front and the new longer rears in the rear. lol. Kinda like what kyosho did(I think???). one of the complaints I have heard about the old truck was that it didn't have enough suspension travel. I never really had a problem with that but I have heard complaints from people.
