there is an add that says it will have pretty much the same design, 2 motors (dah!), an some other stuff (can't remember)

it's on the bottom right of the page, you can find it easy just flippin through the pages.

the kyosho website might have some info but i don have time to check it out right now so someone go do it for me :D

my issue didn't arrive yet. just checked out their website, no update what so ever. guess, just have to wait. its just nice to know that they (r/c manufacturers) still make new EP MTs. thanks.

You guys beat me to it ;) I seen it when got the new issue. It looks like its based on the Mad Force. I am not sure about the alluminum side plates, cause most EP trucks and cars have a plastic/resin type chassis. The good thing is, the MF hop ups should fit great.

well, i think it'll be a combination of the xfactor and the txt-1. maybe in mad force style :D

Hopefully it is a straight axle , 3 speed electric! I will wait in anticipation on this one , been wanting an E-maxx , but this maybe some other choice.

Its based on the Mad Force. So it will be straight-axle. As far as the 3 speed, I am not sure. It would be very cool though. Perhaps it will have a automatic 2 speed.

didn't traxxas try for an automatic 2 speed on the e-maxx but because of draining batteries it didn't function as well? Thus, the manual tranny went in. I don't see a straight drive train switch from nitro to electric, maybe a plastic chassis switching in for the aluminum one.

Most likely it will have a composite/plastic chassis.
