Looks freakin awesome"thumbsup" please let us know when they are available. I love the front mounted motor, that will help when breaking hard into the corners getting the front tires to bite and trying to get the back end to kick out.
 
Assuming the battery is placed near the back of the chassis, it should be pretty balanced. Only thing is with a belt drive down the middle like that, the weight of the battery will be off to one side quite a bit I would think.
 
What I got out of that:

Im anxious and it's screwed. :lmao:

Either way Im getting one.

Nice find Rubba."thumbsup"
 
Got me searching the net for it now.:ror: Found an estimated released date of July and a rough estimate of value (in yen) of about 350.00. Hopefully the price comes down a little, regardless it looks pretty slick.

i got board over the Memorial Day weekend so I got started the backyard rally track. Planning on a variable surface course. I have the basic track layout started and sprayed about 3 gallons of weed killer. Now just waiting for the weeds to die!!! I've run the trophy truck on it, its a little bit tight but I think it will work great for the rally cars. I will have to dig out a few small tree stumps out and work on a banked turn. I am also working on making a little bit bigger takeoff and landing ramps for the cross over, maybe add some traction surface before the takeoff ramp.
