Saw one of these at the hobby shop yesterday.
Definately different, and superlight. Thick 5mm narrow chassis. Thick 5mm
shock supports. Huge shocks very similar to LST shocks.
Two clips removes the whole radio box setup.
The weird stuff was, a plastic encased knuckle PBS? kind of setup, offset
center driveline and the drive bones all were very small circumference
(looked like 1/12th scale bones). Pretty cool buggy. Seriously doubt you
could bend the chassis on this one. I think the smallish style chassis
braces are more to hold the front and rear ends on than for chassis flex!

It is odd huh? I saw one of them and a Losi Muggy out on display the last
time I was at the LHS, and both looked to be killer setups. RC Driver's
review of the 8ight was phenominal; they likened it's handling to that of a
touring car. I'm pretty happy with my Kanai 3 at the moment so no new buggy
in site for awhile, but the Muggy was nnnniiiiiiccccceeee lookin'! If only
I hadn't vowed never to buy another Losi product after that POS Mini-LST I
had!
