Great to hear, and that actually looks very cool imo!

[BenStephenson]

Cool

Any idea of release date.

Looks v.nice, but in mid-motor configuration looks very tight for electrics.

I can see it accepts saddle and stick batteries, anybody know if it accepts 6 cell nimh packs?

There is space for electrics in mid motor all behind the servo if you use a short stubby servo such as Spektrum/Savox etc. Assuming 6 cell nimh packs are the same size as Lipo stick then in arear motor configuration yes they would fit
