.AJ. Posted May 26, 2020 Share Posted May 26, 2020 It’s 1/10 scale, so same size as the SMT10, motor wise it will take a 540/550 👍 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oh How Original Posted May 26, 2020 Share Posted May 26, 2020 Quite steep in price compared to the CPE Barbarian, or even SMT10. Perhaps it's a little step up in quality and design, but that's a lot still. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TWINSET Posted May 26, 2020 Share Posted May 26, 2020 (edited) Be interesting to see what gearbox and axles are a drop-in fit - the axles pictured have some pretty specific hardware to attach the kit's links to; Link to their own axle https://freestyle-rc.com/products/axles?pr_prod_strat=copurchase&pr_rec_pid=3563890999359&pr_ref_pid=2004385628223&pr_seq=uniform And even then you need Traxxas innards 😜 Edited May 26, 2020 by TWINSET Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
.AJ. Posted May 26, 2020 Share Posted May 26, 2020 Loads of people run ar60 axles with these Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
capri-boy Posted May 26, 2020 Share Posted May 26, 2020 I know i'm perpetually a tight arse.... but surely it's not just me that sees this as massively overpriced? Some pretty straightforward carbon, alu parts and run of the mill plastics. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jumper Posted May 28, 2020 Share Posted May 28, 2020 (edited) the axles are $420 and you can see how many people have bought them! crazy stuff. i presume you get both a front and rear for that? if you add up the cost of build vanquish axles they are not far off if not more as well. maybe he does want to make loads and spend all day machining, so he puts the price up maybe he has to pay someone else to make them and he just designs them. by the time you bought a set of axles, chassis , wheels and tyres thats basically $1000. lol Edited May 28, 2020 by Jumper Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
