What's the word on a new spec tire? I hear Tamiya America is out of S-Grips (finally!).

Cool. I've managed to order the sway bars, the aluminum suspension mounts, motor plate and titanium screw set. The copy so far says it comes with DCJs, right? Hopefully I won't need the heat sink.

Those 4 protrusions on the inside of the hinge pins seem likely to be droop adjusters.

Anybody able to figure with the known spur and pinion options if it's possible to gear it at 5.80?

That's a lot of assumption. Different FDR means a lot more sales...

I'm wondering if they have addressed gearing/brushless with lower gear ratio options. As long as it hits 5.80 with whatever pinion fine...if it's 5.82 or 5.78...oh lord, watch out.

I actually think this suspension is more simplified than TC sus.. simply add shims to change the toe/trac, rather than buying new/different blocks all together.. nice.
long screws suggests theres quite a bit of material to thread into and durability should be ok.. we shall see..
