If you resize the photos, it will be easier for everyone to read the posts. Hint. Some of the other mods will even reduce them when they see them. Hint again.

I wouldn't care about servos since I would rather purchase the ones I want from where I want. And since you brought up pricing, I'm also wonder if it will be like the CAW v. Kyosho option parts for the Kyosho Mini-Inferno. Myself, I never went with CAW and eventually went with Kyosho. Then again, if Losi doesn't release such options, there may be little to choose from. I may have to check the Losi option parts in the manual.

done.... for as much as people complain about picture size around here you think the would set up the site to automaticly resize pics. our forum does and its much smaller than this one. sorry im used to just posting pics with no worries.
i have looked at losis hop ups and i didnt see an extended chassis, just a red chassis and c/f. i hope someone makes something for the sloppy design of the steering, my truck never goes straight, allways just a little off. also the tiny drive shafts suck, and gears of course!

If you "upload" the photos, they will be resized. However, if the photos are "linked", then it depends on the host size. Did you try adjusting the turnbuckles? I know I had too and even had to do a little dremel action out of the box. Regarding the gears, I'd rather have some better drivetrain parts than another chassis. By the way, those are some nasty looking tires in that one photo in your RCU Gallery.

that chassis looks nice! I have ordered there extended axle and hub set and it is comming with a block off plate for a brushless motor. Pending the weight and price on this chassis I would be intrested in picking it up... then I may actually go brushless too.
