Let me answer a few of the questions to the best of my ability.



The wing doesn't break. After the crashes I took in Thailand I would say it's actually one of the strongest wings on the market.



I am going to venture to guess that the car in stock form will be around 3450g.



I don't know the theory. What I do know is this: When I got to Thailand I had to run Gerd's origional car that he had put countless gallons on. In the course of the Worlds practice and the R/C Pro Finals I have put nearly 5 gallons on the Ring and Pinion gears of this car. Better yet they still look brand new!! Plus you don't have to shim them. Just drop them in and run. There is zero flex in the bulkhead with the clamshell design being held tight by the aluminum bulkhead.



The battery (and the receiver for that point) are easily accessible with the removal of 3 small screws from the receiver box. It looks more complicated than it is but it is actually very easy.

I am really digging this car. You can feel the low CG on the track. It just feels stable and not tippy at all. It is unique in many ways and the maintenance is a breeze. 6 screws to take out the front and rear diffs. You can take out all the diffs but the arms are still attached to the chassis so you don't have arms and driveshafts dangling from the car when taking diffs out.

Please let me know what other questions I can answer.

Snow is starting to stick in Tahoe keep those goggles clean your going to need them!! I will get a hold of you when its time down some DEEP trenches. Back country has 4 feet already. As soon as the snow falls lower at Little Norway we will connect the dots and ride hard just like you drive hard.
