Im on the fence about this chassis.
It is nice looking.
I would prefer a single 4s battery setup....but many 1/8 scales are running duel battery setups. I could be wrong, but I think a pair of 2s lipos costs the company less than a single 4s pack would.
Duel servo steering can be a pain, but it should mean the steering will be strong enough for those big tires.
I certainly looks bigger than the 8e. not sure how much bigger it may be than the avalanche xte.
Price....it is more than I would like....but compare to a thunder tiger mt4 or hpi savage flux and it is cheap. the thunder tiger is $100 more and the flux about also about $100 (but without lipos)
The chassis doesn't look much heavier than the 8e or xte. so I don't think the 80a system will have much issue powering this truck. Sure, it wont run as fast as a flux but you get what you pay for. if you want 60mph then you gotta pony up more money.
The real question, which only time will tell, is how good will the durability be? If it ends up being tough, then the price tag and the performance will be worth it.
