Some interesting pics n specs doing the rounds;
As spotted at the WEMU RC ScaleShop site in Switzerland, these pics show the prototype scaler that Traxxas is showing (leaking is more like it) at the Nuremberg show.
Land Rover Defender D110 body with lots of molded details, including fender liners. Expect Traxxas to officially license the body if they stick with the Defender.
Ladder chassis with steel rails, centered motor and battery, quick-release strap, nice. Motor is labeled “Titan 21T Reverse Rotation.”
Portal Axles - Note how the axles step down to reach the center of the wheels. More ground clearance, and greater gear reduction.
Note three mini-servos on chassis. Two are for locking the front and rear diffs, like Summit. The third is a high-low shifter? Or a center diff? Most likely high-low. XL-5 looks standard, but will probably get different programming–unlikely Traxxas would build a rig this trick and not set up the speed control with a crawler-strength drag brake.
Specifications:
- Steel Ladder Frame Chassis
- Front Center Mounted Motor
- Front & Rear Remote Looking Diffs
- Two Speed Transmission
- Portal Axle For increased Ground Clearance
- Detailed D110 Defender Body & Bumpers
