hm.... so that thing at the auto show was the new 02 then? *shrug*

on the other hand, the single-piece thing means that the 02 is now like the ABC-DTM... it'll need separate springs, then?

personally i would've liked the new iwavers to accept 180 motors

and the 04 gets a three speed transmission? transmissions are that small...?

The car actually had a separate micro servo.... like a mini T with a steering rack... the one they had on display was a full-option carbon fiber one that I wasn't allowed to take pics of.... but I DID manage to get this crappy pic of the new 02 chassis in it's box.

Does this mean that IW is moving into the US also? Or is this just GP's site for IW?

That's the standard 02 with a carbon plate... the full-option one I saw at the show was ALL carbon... the chassis and battery area, suspension plate, upper chassis...etc.

That pic isn't stock, all the alloy parts are hop-ups, but yes, the roll-type shock is stock, the new 02 has separate vertical and horizontal damping.

well if you look at the in-box pic i posted above you'll see the alloy steering rack... but you are right... the knuckles and other parts are aftermarket..

but that is still not the FULL-option car... that one was all carbon like a pro-Z
