So did they fix the EXHAUST DESIGN ISSUE?!?!?! The exhaust exits on the wrong side for most 1/8 scale nitro vehicles!!!

I hope they get this right…..I use to love nitro but it got to be a pain in the a$$ to tune and the fuel is sooo expensive, so I switched to brushless and I also went to lipo and electric. I still have all of my nitro models. If they get this gasoline engine going in the right direction……..I just might be making a change for the gas.

Im glad its almost here. If it delivers on the claims i know I’ll have at least one GAS powered truggy now. It took a while for brushless and lipos to make there way to the car guys,this could be just as huge for the hobby on the fuel powered car side of the hobby.

i can see myself switching from all electric to this bad boy. i’ve liked nitros but never wanted to dip into it cause it always seemed to much work.

You mis-used the term “Pyrrhic victory.”

I’m siding with the Cubster on this one… My dislike of nitro is only second to Cubby’s… But if this thing can deliver what it is rumored to promise, I’m in. Hell, I’ll buy two

If it was four stroke they would have me. I know that would require more parts to manufacture, but that 2-stroke sound just gets to me. How far off are we from EFI? CVTs in RC? What do you guys think would be cool?
