The tranny looks to be nothing more than the original with the steel top gear, AL idler and a new AL diff.
The BL motor/ESC is nothing special...a $180 Mamba Max combo does all that and then some.
The tires are the same as on the XL-5, just on black chrome versions of the same wheels.
So, basically, not much difference. However, the metal turnbuckles and higher torque servo are nice additions. I just don't see anything more with this release than a prettied up version of the XL-5 that was new last year.
