Actually I think the body looks sweet. I wonder how much this is going to set people back. Would it be possible to put to brushless motors in there?

It says right there its brushless ready and has been tested with up to 6s lipos, I like the design..It seems as though they are listening to consumers...

How come most electrics chassi's are plastic.
The e evaders are plastic but the nitro are aluminum.
DO they think the nitro needs to be more tougher than electric.

Well, from the factory, they do. Not too many coming from the factory with brushless.

I mean, compare the speeds of a the Twin Force or E-maxx with the nitro counterparts. Now yea, brushless systems throw that all out the window, but who knows what the E-revo will come with.

I think its because heat will weaken the plastic chassis and a small amount of heat on a nitro engine is also transfred to the chassis.

Quite a bit of heat reaches the chassis, I have some ntiros where the entire rear half of the chassis becomes almost too hot to touch after serious running.
