Belt drive internal gearbox sounds intriguing. Looking forward to internal shots of the setup.

Very glad they are not doing a direct copy of another kit. Curious to see that transmission as well.

I personally would like to see them develop a high quality kit. Rather then a pretty "meh" $90 2wd kit I would like to see what they could bring to the table for $200 or $250

Or even a more race focused $90 kit. Leave it unassembled, no tires or foams, and don't paint the body. All to save costs and upgrade overall quality.

It actually looks surprisingly good for $90. I'd be tempted to buy one and race it if it came with a ball diff.

I can see where the aluminum chassis with the plastic wings looks similar, but aside from that I'm failing to see much in common.

They posted some pics of the gearbox internals. It goes straight from the spur/slipper shaft to the diff drive. It also looks like it has some kind of tension adjustment. Spur uses different slippers than AE, but i would expect AE style spurs to fit no problem.

I'm anxious to give this thing a shot, the other vehicles I have had from them have been surprisingly good.

They are releasing a 1/8 e-buggy as well.

It says it can run in mid config as well...seems like you might just flip the tranny to achieve this. Strange A-arms and a pre painted body with no clear shell available to purchase have prevented me from taking the tiny 88$ risk..
