Is it smaller than 148x50?

yep it is.. guess I didnt see the specs on the battery tray

Ya, it is down near the bottom of the page in the "Specifications" section.

Specifications:

Length: 435mm (without wing)
Wheelbase: 323-335mm
Width: 306-310*mm (*optional hubs required)
Weight: 3400g (7.5lb) (RTR weight equipped w/ Tekin RX8, 600g battery, rx, etc)
Diff Ratio: F/R – 10/40t, Center – 44t
Battery tray dimensions: 50x148mm (2x2s or 1x4s config)
Kit/RTR: Kit

If you are racing, that is about 1/2 pound more battery than you really need in this light buggy!

Regarding the battery tray. If somebody runs 2x2s as mentioned, is there a section of the tray with cutouts such that this will work ok with bullet based batteries (or top side wire outputs)? I wouldn't want to think it'll work with a wire harness to put them in series, but end up not being able to plug in the wires with the batteries in the tray (I'm thinking bottom to bottom with the bullets out each side, but perhaps there is another suggested method).

Tekno,
Can you clarify which of the drive or brake options are included in the kit and which aren't so I can choose what I'm going to run and order accordingly?

Is some sort of top brace necessary between the servo and the center diff when using the mechanical brake option? Just wondering if the side plastic holder can be stiff enough.

The kit will not include brakes or Traktion Drive/Elektri-Clutch out of the box. Both are options. It would be very costly to include them in the kit and a lot of people wouldn't be using them if they prefer pinion and motor brake for example.

You could offset and glue the two 2s bullet packs together so that the plugs would be positioned in the middle of the tray for clearance. Obviously we recommend a single pack for simplicity. Two 2s packs with wires out of the side can sit side by side without any issues, but bullet packs will need some special handling.

Check out ProTek's 4s/4100/70C hard pack. It's light and powerful, we've been using them lately and they've been awesome.

Hi everyone,

We're approaching late June and it appears a June release isn't in the cards. Early July is our new expected date. Still nothing official until we get confirmation from manufacturing. We'll keep you up to date and be as open with info as we can be. One of the changes on the parts being finished up now will be appreciated by all as it has made the vehicle more consistent.

Thanks for your honesty and updates

Yep, waiting longer for something so awesome sucks, but knowing why and approximately how long because the company cares to communicate effectively with customers is great. Thank you!

what is the wait time on the NB48 the nitro buggy version, and the ESC410 electric sct 4x4?
