No pics of the underside, but elsewhere it says metal chassis. No tx/rx supplied though.

He has one on the way to take a close look at, he wants to check the quality of the axles etc before he orders stock in. He won't sell anything that might not be up to the job, and this is a complex beastie from an 'economy' manufacturer.

The only reason dealers get samples, or a discount, is because they have signed an agreement never to resell them. If they were allowed to do that they would be ordering samples every week! lol.
