Is this a gear diff?

I like the aluminum bevel gears on the diff and spool.

No, this is sealed ball diff.
But our gear diff ( optional) looks very similar.

Hi Oleg,

Any benefits of the Longitudinal motor layout over the perpendicular?

Thanks.

I know $750 seems like a lot, but that car looks like it should cost $1200.

Oleg....since this will be a 'limited-edition' TC, what spares are you planning on stocking?

Longitudinal motor layout may have some benefits for stock spec motors ( 10.5T, 13.5T, 17.5T, 21.5T ) and for mod motors under some conditions also due to a bit less power losses.

-JayBee,

We are planning to have all spare parts in our stock.
We will prefer to have a reserve stock of parts constantly instead of selling it in the form of kits.

Just a quick question.... Does this chassis use conventional sway bars or have you got a neat trick with a singular adjustable sway bar too?

In some of the pics you can see a conventional U bar.

I agree. There is an incredible amount of engineering that has gone into this car. $750 is a lot of money but you are getting a lot of car for the price.

Sure, a less radical car, with only some of the features, plus a reasonable selling price with good stock of parts would be great. But it is not something I want to see from the Awesomatrix. I like it radical. It shows alot of thought had been put into the design. And i certainly hope most of the features make it to production. Oleg, awesome work keep it up!
I couldn't have said it better myself. That car is just cool as its wants to be, great job. it should come with its own roll of toliet paper cause its the shizzzt. (thats a good thing Oleg)

I must say though that IMHO the MOST important piece of this kit will be the INSTRUCTION MANUAL
Oleg, pm me info on how to preorder, I want one.
