I'd like to see less alloy personally. That much scares me for weight / bending.

claimed weight is 14.5kg which is 32lb..... I was always not a big fan of all alloy but if the grade is good then it holds up to abuse. all the high end race cars are all alloy elcon, contrast, concept,ferox, fg, laut, harm, toxyc etc so not only is it deemed strong enough the added weight is what keeps these cars planted to the track....
a good pipe will get this truck moving along...the long skinny header is what robs power.
people have been wanting a 1/5th savage for years... now it's here...and so what if hpi don't make it,(probably a good thing) i was never an hpi fanboy anyhow, ...tell the truth my savage was not much better than my t-maxx, the losi LST was the best nitro MT i ever owned

i think foxy is hiding something here,i posted in the other night from a new account (maxexpress) and my comments were removed and my account blocked!! *** on a public forum... is this how members get treated here/?/
like i say looks to me like they are hiding something here with this as they removed my comments.
i am telling you that design of a largescale car is totally wrong with that gearing,too slow to accelerate,no other engine will
make much more of a differnce,i am allowed my opinions on a forum simple as.
if you lads saw what me and a few more went through with our nutech models you would put yopur ones in the bin.
i can't even sell mine on,it's that bad.
the racers i know in uk racing tb2 are fed up also as they are costing a fortune to run on parts!!!
china = crap quality and that's a fact!!!
i am very bitter about the time and money wasted on my nutech cars with no support back
i e-mailed the vcompany once only to be told f#k off
not very professional
