Nice concept…. Looks like my RCLabs with a shaft instead of belts… mid motor with rear saddle packs has been around since the beginning of RC.
If you’re looking to make money with this…. I am not so sure you will. There have to be at least 6 companies selling aftermarket TC3 chassis’s. All take stock TC3 parts and none address any shortcomings of the suspension…. All are geared towards weight distribution with some claiming added stiffness.
This means you can only sell to people with TC3’s who are unhappy with the stock chassis or just want something different. With the amount of choices available and the limited market… well the numbers are not looking good. Add in the rumors about the TC4 and I don’t think it makes sense financially.
