Trust me, don't look at the picture if you are drunk. It makes absolutely no sense.

Yeahh, this front upper arms look like the FG 1/5 car arms and the servo tray like Mugen, is very interesting but the carb position looks weird.

Proud owner of 2 TTR EB4 S2 Pro's and I've been waiting for several months to catch a glimpse of the 'rumored' EB4 S3 (EB5, whatever). It seems clear that the EB4 S2 will NOT be upgrade-able.

I'm not looking forward to watching the all ready pathetic S2 parts support take an additional hit. I have to admit that looks like a very clean design - with the exception of the carb linkage as previously noted (why clear across the width of the buggy?). I realize the carb can be rotated, but why show it this way?

The lay down servo seem sto be protected well enough and I see they've went back to the original cupped-style side guards. That's a shame, I like the flat ones much better. I don't see where the torque rods are either (or shock springs for that matter).

Thank you for posting the pic.

supposedly you get better response when you push the carb open instead of pulling it open.

L8r,

What does it mean if it makes absolutely no sense and I'm not drunk?

Haha.

i see some other changes as well. the rcvr box is larger, and now holds the batts as well. cant see the details on the front suspension - PBS? laydown servo is nice, rear seems the exact same.

And yet another...

Ta-Da! [cue dramatic music - Star Wars Darth Vader theme]



Thank you HB, and NA I certainly echo your sentiment. YES, I want one! LOL!

Check out that rear brace - I'm thinking that won't be on the production version. Blah, and that primer on the fuel cell, not to mention the rear mount that's kinked over. I do like the rear mounted front shocks through the upper a-arms. My wife is going to kill me when I order one of these.
