Default HB 2WD buggy

Hot Bodies has a 2WD buggy in the works according to their team drivers, who were hoping to have it at the World Championships the other week. I assume it's been delayed to make it super-duper, and being tested right now...

So, has anyone seen it?! Any photos kicking around?

Anybody knows where the motor will be located? Rear? Mid?
Are HB shocks better than Asso? Better than Losi?

We want news!!!!

I've "Heard" it will be very close to a B4, so i would expect rear mounted motor etc.

Anyone know if this has been race tested yet? I mean secretly dug out at a Regional or club race, maybe with an existing shell on to mask it?

that sounds cool, but it will probably be another clone that's more expensive than the original.
