Agreed. I was going to buy a new chassis for my runner, but I might source a used one instead.

Very happy to see some pictures. Keep them coming .

i couldnt download the page how much is the chassis and nose?

$71, $29

Maybe I'm not fully understanding something here, but I thought the new parts were going to be marked somehow so that they couldn't be confused with vintage parts. Take the pictures of the new rear arms as an example. I'm not seeing any difference between them and the "super rare" white Worlds-style arms from back in the day.

Please explain...

Maybe the bottom is marked.

Or maybe I spent way more than I should have rounding up a few of the white Worlds-style arms in the past ... LOL!

I believe there were 'slight differences' between old and new...don't remember them stating they'd be marked but I really haven't been following it all that close. So all the flippers that don't know this stuff will be trying to pass the new stuff off as originals in 6 months making it really hard to figure out if you wanna bid or not...

Where are you seeing prices?

i like how they changed the AE script on the front of the nose plate. well..... same script just no recess. i had thought it would be alright (in my eyes) to use the modern logo, but i like the way it was done. different than the original, but still has the old feel.

I wonder if the tranny is going to have 48 pitch internal gears to match that outer gear?

Chassis is drilled for stealth ?!?

I can't wait... till september instead of august now

Steve you guys rock!!!

Thanks

Well, if the chassis and nose plate are made in USA no wonder it's $71.99 and $26.69. If it was made in China it would be like $10 and $5.

Interesting mix of future compatibility. Drilled for stealth on both the chassis and motor plate but the rear bulkhead is missing inboard upper arm holes. It looks like the short tube style because of the areas for the rear susp mounts to pocket into. Nice to see they didn't pick the last bulkhead with short ears cause it wouldn't look right. I'm curious still about the servo saver.

And do we still get a charge cord? Lol j/k

i think it may just be the angle of the pic, they may be blocked by the battery box. it looks to be the normal second series bulkhead....... other than the bottom being cut out.
