So what are your thoughts on this one Jang?

I'm a fan of MOA, like the smooth thin axles a lot, appreciate the nylon upper links (one of those "duh" things), and just generally like what they've done overall. I'm also happy to see a major release crawler that doesn't have backwards Ackermann. I know Jason Ruona is gonna have a major fit when he sees the Bajr-inspired body though, if he isn't getting a kickback

The truck looks great, but I don't care for the "space age" shell. I just don't get the novelty, I prefer the idea of "scale crawlers". Throw a bronco or a rubicon shell on there and I'll take one.

I think they where thinking lower center of gravity when they designed this crawler. The body I'm not too crazy about I think they could have done a better job with it. Looks like they are also using dual motors. I like the tranny based single motor 4WD system better then the two motor set up.

For scalers sure, for comp crawling there are things a moa can do, that even the best tuned shafty's can not. Example being massive under hangs on vertical climbs.

I have a local spot I go to that has a few lines that I can not get up with my FF-4 (ax10 axled rig), an LCC, and several other acx10 based rigs, but I can get right up it with any Berg or Bully I drive.

The body is functionally hideous. I do not like the looks much, but it sure looks like it will work great! No more having to run a bug body to be able to get back on wheels with out the 5 pt roll over penalty or 10 pt reposition.

Hmm I actually like the look of a mini Bajr body

I'm sure it will grow on me. It seems to have all the function needed though! No more getting stuck on the flat lid And since everyone in my area is getting bug bodies after watching me right mine with no penalty points, it will soon be time to get something different that offers the same advantages.

plus there wont be any torque twist with the motors at the axles. and you could you a electronic dig system. i like.
