Status: offline 		It looks just like a Trinity Nitro Spyder 1/7 scale. Same setup same bumper fuel tank, engine mount etc. Just a knock off of the nitro spyder. Like stated in the beginning of the thread. I have the nitro spyder and it's a big lemon (I would not get it)!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I hope it will not be a lemon for sake of those that get one.

Status: offline 		ok i have been staring at the parts pics.
Things i like are: Elect box, planetary gear diffs, big fuel tank that is shaped nice, and 3 shoe clutch.

Now for the things that make me go huh??: engine adjustment to spur is up and down. First up side down landing with out a roll bar is going to shove the bell and spur into one another, center shaft is one piece front ot rear, skid plates are bulk heads, and lastly the TCP have little bracing in the rear towards the bottom. I can see twisting being an issue if the tcp are not strong. A longer skid would fix that with having more bracing to mount it. The servo saver for the steering is non adjustable.
Justa couple of small items... what do you think?

Looks cool! Have you had any other nitros to compare it's quality too?
One small concern i had was the rear twisting in the TCP. Do the plates seem rigid?
Thanks
