If you look really closely you'll see the dampers look identical to the EB4-S3 and the wheel drives are teh standard format for 1/8th!

I think we are looking at an electric 1/8th car not a new 4wd 1/10th!!

Have to wait until more details are available to be sure!

not so sure on 1/8th,the motor and speedo dont look 'lost' in the chassis,the battery slots seem to run full length of the chassis so not sure on the 1/8th size..but you never know.

There's a photo of the carbon fibre (?) prototype bodyshell knocking about and the labelling clearly says 'Sparrowhawk B****', '1:10 Electric Bug**'!

Think that settles the debate!

You might well be right ....... can't see 1/10th in any of the pictures above though but assuming that it is a "PRO" version of the machine behind it then your probably on the right track ..... disregard my first post .. LOL

not too sure on the bumper at the front of the car, if X-ray ever made a 4wd id expect it too look similer to that ... dunno why, maybe its the browney alloy

Isn't this competing against itself though since TT and AE are together? So the B44 is one of its competitors even though they come from the same factory.

The car looks very well made, all nice ally parts like Hubs etc, full Carbon too! Wonder why they would develop / make a new car though when as others said they have the B44?? Sounds like it's not likely to come over this way anyway but would be good to see yet another car out there

hmmm the tag on the one on the stand says optional parts, which suggests to me that the kit version will be plastic fantastic and then to get it to look like that will cost you double.

Would have been nice to see a picture of the actual finished car sat behind it.
