In part 1 it shows the engine mounted straight up unless that pic was to trick us?

Good catch. I could be wrong, but I'd be quite surprised if they ended up somehow inclining the engine to fit it below the bodywork. While this would no doubt lower the car's CG, it would also deprive the engine's heat-sink of much-needed cooling airflow, and I think that would be far worse than leaving the engine in the vertical position.

Default remaining 6 parts

What do you think the last 6 revealings will be?

Here are mine:

Wing Mount
Shocks
Shock Tower
Chassis
------------
Motor Mount
Special body
------------
hard to come up with those last 2

I would say rear hubs and steering knuckles but those seem like pretty straight forward parts...

This buggy sure looks different from any 1/8 gp buggy i've seen..what i find funny though is that every manufacturer is going with longer shocks to absorb bumps and stuff...but the M1 has got short shocks...you'd think it's gonna handle rough tracks?

Funky
the shocks are still the same travel. It is an optical illusion because of they way they are cantilevered at the mounting points. The shock diameters are also bigger than typical buggies.

Yes we know this now. around 575 to 600 depending on where the shops place it. I can only comment on the US market. Not a Hard number but we figure it will be around there. Some markets may be higher
