1/24 Pro-Line "True Scale" Ambush

Oh man this is exciting! Can't wait to get one and break it :lmao:

The price really isn't too bad either considering the micro crawler and trekker were both $150 and not nearly as cool looking.
 
This will definitely be my entry to scale micro. The kids will love it, hell ill love it. I love doing up bodies, and cant imagine the fun it will be to hunt down and do up different ones.
 
Suspension looks good, but not great in stock form, you can see it moves as the truck crawls along over bumps and obstacles. Uses three steel leaves per spring pack at each wheel, I like it! Remove the helper springs inside the friction dampers, maybe place them under the "pistons" for even lower ride height and pseudo swaybar effect. "thumbsup"

Looks nice, but that suspension looks way too stiff. In the videos it almost seems like it doesn't have any suspension...

I would have to agree. In the videos it bounces around a lot. The suspension would need to changed to make it softer. Maybe adding some weight on the frame over the axles and removing the helper springs would settle the truck down and keep it from bouncing soo much.
 
Looked at it more and looks like it the leaf spring mounts on the axle housing could be cut down by about half height to lower ride height too. :)
 
Being Proline you know other tires and bodies are coming. 3D printing scale accessories and bumpers that small should be easy. I want to see it with a 1/24 model body. If its true 1/24 scale and those fit I could see this being a big hit. Won't be long until you see RCC venders with softer leafs and all kinds of mods if these take off. I want one."thumbsup"

Adjustable wheelbase, also has placed on the axles that appear like possible 4 link mounts.

Pro Line has/had some available to buy directly from them but they said dealers wont be getting them until October.

Amain has them for $183.96, but not arriving until 10/8/16. If you do their Big Ticket Promo, it knocks $30 off the price.

What's the battery life like outta one of these things?
Would it be hard to convert it to run a small 2S Lipo?
And what's the dimensions of the battery itself?
Cheers guys
