A better tease...

Ahhhh crap, I'm running out of room for these damn cars!

does the 8 signify 1/8 scale as in previous releases?

I don't know if anyone has checked on the proportions of the Slash, but it's HUGE! I've seen guys on other forums say the bodies fit on their 1/8 scale buggies. Maybe the SC8 and Slash will be similar in size, but AE actually checked their math before the release!!

i saw one of those slash trucks in person at my lhs tonight, and they are pretty big.

I like the looks of that!!! I'm hoping it's still gonna be electric

Me too! Looks much better than the TTR truck, and I really like that company.

I wonder if it's based off the B44?

From the way the wheels are offset, and the 1/8th type nuts you can see holding them on, and the similar width/height appearance of the wheels to a 1/8th buggy wheel, as well as the lower ground clearance look, I'd say it's a CORR truck based on the RC8 gas chassis, unless they have wrenched those wheels/hubs onto an electric specific chassis.

Good eyez Mr Keyz.

Maye I should have picked this up from yahoo auctions while it was still isted. Ridiculous cheap.
It looks like the engine drives a gearbox, not?

Click on it and it talks a lot about CORR trucks. Check back soon it teases. Also Rick Hohwart has been teasing on a thread on RCTech. Something is coming apparently.

Their a sponser on some of the Corr trucks if you look at the add they show the AC website on the headlight and I watched the race the other day and they showed that same sticker on several of the trucks. I think their just a sponser?

WOW. Thanks Keith. I REALLY WANT ONE NOW! Scale looks to be perfect.

Erik, that pic is a Kyosho Pathfinder.... kinda of Kyosho's Bruiser so to speak. They are quite pricey.

Rick, yes, AE is a sponsor of both the Red Bull and Lucas Oils Trucks.

I already suspected so, just didn't know it was using an engine.
I'm not into scale trucks nor engines, but for the price it came: 15$ last time I checked... I was really tempted.
Seeing this tread I thought this 1/8 truck might be a good body for it

I have always loved this one. I will have to do a group pic when the SC8 comes out.

I have 2 elec. versions of those Kyoshos. I dig them. The new AE truck looks promising.
