Are you talking about my buggy? The length & width are the same as a D/R.

It does look shorter in the pic, granted. It looks way shorter than the D/R 's you guys have in your profile pic. But it has the same dimensions as a D/R.

Just like my MT is the same as a Redcat MT.

I think it's the big wheels that make it look short.

No the tires are the same this is what you have http://www.nitrorcx.com/newrtrexrcba.html and this is the specs Length:

770 MM 30.31 inch.

Width:

490 MM 19.29 inch.

Height:

305 MM 12 inch.

Wheelbase:

570 MM 22.44 inch.

Ground Clearance:

55 MM 2.16 inch.

Here is the redcat D/R specs

Length825mm

Width480mm

Height270mm

Dry Weight12.5KG (27.5 LBS)

Even if anybody on here with a D/R looks at your pick counts the holes they see in the side of the chassis on the D/R there are four full holes then the side gaurds on yours there is 3 holes and the side guards start early on the 4th hole your is wider to allow for the dual servos on the steering the D/R just has a single servo for the steering.

You have a very keen eye.

Totally right. hmmm i went for this one because it is the newer version with twin steering servo. I could have got the "old" version from the same guy. it was $50 cheaper than the 1 i got.

In the listing it had the specs down as the same as a D/R, thats why i bought it.

Anyway it's basically the same & still kicks ass.

Cool glad you are enjoying it I sold exceed for awhile when they first came to the states but here in the states they do not keep parts in stock good at all so I stopped so thats why I know a great deal about the exceed. The dual servo is really over kill on the buggy 1 good servo will work just and great or better.

Yeah, if i had known i would have gone the longer buggy, i emailed the guy & told him to fix the info on the listing so no one gets upset. lol. The parts still seem to be the same as my MT. When i broke the rear diff housing, i used the spare half from my MT diff housing.

I might buy a long chassis & transfer the parts over. Should work with minimal hassle.
