I think there is quite a lot more different than first meets the eye.

they hint that it will be upgradeable, but the differing lenghts of a-arms etc will make a huge difference to handelling. on the xxx-s the difference between the offset and non offset hubs are pretty huge...

car should be awesome...

I think the phrase that pays for the Burger King is Evoloution not revoloution.

In the end, the chassis package is pretty good, but AE have upped the ante, so Losi got to respond or lose sales/drivers. And it does seem to have ALL the hop ups for now, but I am sure there will be plenty you can buy to personalise it...

Losi ought to look at an old schumacher car some time.
My cougar 2000 had "variable length" wishbones back in 93! (as well as the angled bellcranks which were supposed to be revolutionary on the xxx. Looks to me like you simply gain the option to copy b4 geometry on the xxx and a minor change in weight distribution.

They are "imminent", which, roughly translated, means "We've ordered them, but don't know when they're due in"! ;D

I really want to race it before it becomes widely available but I am very short on time at the moment.

erm.. theres website shenanigans goign on real soon (3 months ago if i got my way!!) with a new logo (it's spanky) hence y there were none on your shell chris, it was still being designed! i'd like pics of the shells on cars, static, one of yourself with the cars for a drivers section on the site, and a few cool action shots. now the people who run the "other publication" will let me have the pics... lol.. no panic mate, it'l be a few weeks b4 they will get renewed. if it's a prob with embargo on car pics, stick the shells on the old cars?
