I have seen some pics of this car on another forum, looks like some quality stuff. Drive Train is pretty interesting and the chassis looks very well balanced. Lots of orange aluminum as well…better than purple I guess. [sm=49_49.gif]

dude this thing will be a hit if its a solid chassis. just like u dont need high end cars, people are still running full cf cyclones, yokomo bds, sds, ssgs, lcgs, and all that stuff. they will probably end up having a sport version of this car also like the cyclone s.

yea probably. but where i'm from you don't need a 4, 5 or 600 dollar chassis in order to drift well.

Of course people will buy this chassis regardless. I just hope people don't buy it with the "i'll be faster if i get a 100 dollar motor" line of thought.

Under $400 for a D4 is a great price.

This car is NOT a high-end carpet car. This car was made like this because people appreciate high quality materials. You can drift your current car without worries.
