na, its the same, just has a couple of purple supports in the middle, nd battery slots at each side

It looks like theyve used 2 top and bottom decks to extent the chassis/wheelbase. Probably a prototype before proper length carbon decks were made.

Hey everyone.

This vehicle was something Dave G put together over here in the USA as a fun vehicle to see what it would be like.

This is based on the SB V2 Pro which is SIGNIFICANTLY BETTER than the SB V2 Sport. The issues with the SB V2 Sport have been corrected here, with the only things that are extremely minor being us AE diff lube instead of the included stuff to improve the life of the diff.

This is just a concept, but has generated lots of interest as over here most of the tracks do double duty for 1/8 scale and take a big beating, so much so that usually the only electric class that can handle it is the truck class.

Figure in the benefits of 4wd, the rough track handling of stadium trucks, you have a winner there for those who want it. Add in lipo and brushless and extreme runtimes await.

As for the HPI MT, the issue with that vehicle was they went with a belt setup. My buddy had one, and either you caught something up in the belt, or running the inner body made everything just way too hot.

I don't see why everyone is so hot-headrd about. Its a electric truggy, the chassis is stretched and I'm sure the arms are also. And its only a prototype. Chill.
