have you seen any thing weird with them in testing?
?

The ring and pinion gears have been solid. Haven't heard of this before, but I can see what you mean. The same teeth hitting the same teeth over and over...

Definitely not an issue during testing.

Well I am hard on my diff's, 80-150% braking on the ESC and TX settings and for 5 months I never had a problem with the diff gears. This was on a High bite track and direct drive with plastic spur gear.

Here's a video that a local racer/photographer/videographer put together.

Thank you so much you kept some curves

Many of us would be interested in the max height of the lipos that will fit under it.

So the battery tray is 150mm x 50mm x ?

Looking at the enthousiasm this buggy generates around here I'm quite sure it will be a big success. I love it.

The Smashing Pumpkins playing along with the best handling buggy I've ever seen. How could you ask for more?

I gotta admit I do like the looks of this body. I'm not too fond of the recently posted pics of the FTW bodies and was afraid the new bug might look like them. Kudos

I prefer the Serpent too to be honest but it's an easy change and it's a good thing they went for a smooth design. Anyway it's just a rendering, some mods could be made. It's funny how the driver lost his Serpent body on the EB48 at the end of the race on the first vid .

Best looking bodies on the market are the Durango and Serpent IMO but this is very subjective.

In the first video it was a Losi 8e2.0 body, which has a huge gap on the sides like an inch or more on each side from the mud guards to the body. So that could have been part of the problem(catching air in between the body and chassis) pulling the two apart.

I did a mix between the two vids you're right the Serpent body was on the second one. Many brands should come out with a body for this buggy so everybody will find what he's looking for . I would take the EB48 with a plane body I wouldn't care so nice handling it looks

Thanks for the vid and pics!

It handles and looks like a big DEX410 (this is a compliment)
