Re: VEXPro 2014 Product Initial Impressions

Over here on 558 we've been waiting for our VEX/WCP parts just like everyone else. Now that they have arrived, we couldn't be happier. In fact, VEX went above and beyond and drop shipped the hubs to us when we had ordered them from WCP.

The new 2014 VexPro Drive in a Day Chassis looks great, and has already gone under the mill for some modifications. It's exactly what we were looking for, and I really like the improvements from last years design.

In typical fashion we will be running colson wheels with dead axle hubs. This new iteration (based on the original design I worked with WCP on back in 2011-2012) are excellent and everything went together as expected today. We'll share some more images when the chassis is fully assembled.

Nothing quite like a fresh box of Colsons...
