NHaskell.. somebody mentioned the Dash on their page and their reply was that the Dash is a totally different vehicle which doesn't share anything with this.. at least that's what I understood

Their FB page

Among other things, the sponsons are noticeably different on the Dash. Again, it could be done with a lot of work.

Yep, basically the exact same vehicle, with the exception of the applique armour.

Ok - thanks for that clarification.

As I understand this, somewhere along the way, but around 2010, the Hendrickson DXM independent suspension (used on the out-of-the factory Dash) was retrofitted onto maxxpro trucks already in service, (replacing leaf sprung, solid axles) in order to function better in rough terrain.

So, I suppose it unlikely the kit would include a maxxPro with the updated (essentially aftermarket) DXM suspension - so, if I want it....I'll need to build it from scratch :-)....as that's what I'm really interested in!

Fair enough

Cheers

Nick,
Are the suspension photos part of what I sent you? If not let me know. By the way, perhaps M-ATV parts would give you a head start on that.

Robert - yes, the images are very thorough (! Thanks again)

I scratch built a DXM suspension version for the Legend kit before I had your photos - using Hendrickson marketing info, but lots of guesswork on my part - the most apparent (non-technical) difference between the MATV TAK suspension and the DXM is dual coil springs...that said, I did keep all of the matv parts set aside from another build...and I might use it on a maxxPro...that's why I want Kinetic to release the kit! But, better they get them right before shipping them.

Thanks
Nick

I'm interested to know what the raised part on the Roof of the Bushmaster is I have never seen it on Any Aussie Bushmasters so perhaps this is a Dutch Variant minus the side armor Jason you might have something to share perhaps

Thanks for the heads up, Henk... looks like it's going to be a really nice kit

Sweet that it has an interior. Bravo to Kinetic for this.

what about bronco-model maxx-pro any news about it

Last time I asked Daniel at HobbyEasy, he said that he heard from a friend that it will be sometime before we see that one.. and that they only announced it to let people know there's another option in the works.. so that not everybody will go out and buy Kinetics kit.. you know, the competition between the companies and all that... But I always say, you never really know

Henk and Hisham - thanks for the joint posting effort! Looks like a nice kit
Cheers
