@Billy,Class 1 can be many different configurations. But you've guess'd a Bugly conf. like Nasser's. For my standard one beer bet, I'll bet Robby's new DAKAR racer does not use the Bugly layout.

I was not making reference to the body. My one beer bet is on chassis/engine layout not being exactly like the Bugly.

I'm betting it has 4 Toyo tires mounted on RGM wheels with 2 additional Toyo tires also mounted on RGM wheels for use as spares stored in the rearward section of the vehicle. I'll also go out on limb and predict it will be V8 powered, 2WD, seat two people, and it will be painted orange.

LS7 is the sure bet,as that's what is in the SST's. The HUMMER's used a LS based engine.

I'm betting its closer to a short course pro 2 configuration than SST as far as engine placement , suspension , and wheelbase . As for body I'm betting something generic that Traxxas can throw their name on .
