Looks nice. But there they go jacking the price up again.
Is the wheelbase longer than the other styles?

Quote from the description...
"The new, 22mm longer wheelbase increases stability"

Looks like it drives nice, first thing I would do, is dump the stuff from the back. Not a fan of the velcro, would replace it with magnets. Do like that they added the driver.

Yeah, that velcro sucks. It eventually pulls the paint off the body.

I'm not really sure about this one. For me, when it comes to these SCX24, scale is nice and all, but performance is paramount.
Scale gear(up high), smaller tires, and a longer wheel base, are things that hinders crawl performance. This product appears to be more flash than substance. But, it is purty though!
Side note: my Redcat Scout is the first rc vehicle that I've owned to have Velcro for the body, and I have to say that I do like it.
However, I don't mind the body clips on the SCX24s at all. While magnets would be much simpler, I won't use it on my SCX24s just because I strive to keep the center of gravity low.

I just grabbed the chassis. Horizon just released it like a week ago. Everything is the same til ya get to the rear of the rails, which are lengthened.
I’ve been looking at one of these I might get one but I have about 400 massive logs in my yard so I might get a Everest 10
