Hello,
The price tag is pretty much set, you can trust us on that. Sometimes it's nice being a small company.
I will definitely be getting some video and better pictures of the truck when I get to drive it in Taiwan later this month or early Dec...I want to see if i can flip it over a jump! As far as the steering servos go, they will probably be rotated 180 degrees and placed closer to the center of the chassis. As soon as I saw that on the prototype, I knew that needed to be changed. The throttle/brake servo is located next to the engine. In the next few weeks I am willing to bet that that the truck will look a bit different than what is seen here, but the basic important features will remain the same.
Distributor inquiries are welcome from around the world. Power Racing will be selling the car in the U.S. to hobby shops.
Thanks,
-Cameron

The truck will have a spool for the center drive arrangement, read: locked. A diff and/or two-speed tranny will be optional equipment. I guess there is a lot of new stuff for the truck but no one has taken any pictures for us yet.

I just threw my Power Racing Katana buggy in the trash. The parts are S*** don't be whoo'd by the cheap price. All of you know you get what you pay for.

I saw today the new MCD 4X4 Monster in Israel, what a monster !!!!
This thing is huge, the power of the 26cc is great and this monster is pretty fast.
I will meet with the owner at friday to bash together with my Traveller and another friend with his Yankee 1/4, I will try to get some good photos.

Yeah probably, I want to see an 8 shock design, composite shock towers, smoothed out angles on all parts, and a roll bar to tie the 2 side plates together in the middle, over the engine.

RE: Power Racing 1/5 MT 4x4 (pictures)

i like the chassi on the Marder.. bent on the sides.. and the same chassi is used on other stuff 2 ofcourse

I have a plasma cutter, so if the side plates or chassis are prone to bending I will make myself some new ones out of 4mm stainless steel.
Heavy, but effective. Also shock towers in 4mm stainless would work great too.[8D]

It's not dead. They're just testing it in Taiwan and not taking pictures for some reason. As soon as I have one in my hands to test, or we get pictures, RCU will be the first place to see them.

So what's that now? Like over 3 months from the original "hype", and not even a murmor of progress? Heck their website doesn't even show anything other then their original pic/info.
BOO!

I guess they are trying to figure out how to keep all that cheap molded plastic from breaking all the time, and how to get the car under a thousand dollars RTR (which I don´t think is going to happen)
