Slight change for 2008

Three of us are going to try off-road racing in 2008 and we've got together and order three kits so that we're all using the same one (sharing spares etc)

We've gone for an Academy SB V2 Pro Carbon, which is a bit of a mouthful I know. I'm going to call my one "Ernie" for short I think.

The spec is as follows:

• Battery may be mounted as a standard stick pack, side-by-side pack, 3 x 3, 4 x 2, or 5 x 1 saddle pack. This capability will allow drivers to balance the buggy depending on specific track conditions and driving style


• Aluminum center brace can be moved to 3 different positions changing the way the chassis flexes, a second brace can be added for ULTIMATE rigidity


• Motor can be mounted on either the left or right side of the chassis


• Main chassis, upper deck and battery strap are made out of thick black woven carbon fiber


• Machined purple anodized aluminum motor mount with traditional 2 screw mounting for more adjustability with pinion and included spur gears. Six spur gears included: 70,72,74,76,78,80


• Adjustable slipper clutch is easy to tune by simply using the included wrench to tighten or loosen the dual slipper pads and plates without disassembling any part of the car


• Ball differentials with out-drive saver rings front and rear


• Academy's famous Teflon coated aluminum oil filled shocks


• Modular bulkhead with built-in 10o kick-up


• Adjustable polished aluminum T6 Grade tie-rods all round


• One way bearing on center shaft for superb steering upon corner entrance


• Universal drive-shafts on all four corners


• Full ball bearings throughout, no plastic or oil-ite bushings in this car!


• NEW Hard suspension material, with additional hole in rear arm for short or long arm suspension geometry


• Lexan Body, Wing and Under-tray.


• (Motor and other electronics not included)

And a nice picture of the beast :)
