No problem, just look for the 6 foot 4, fat white dude with glasses making too much noise with the rest of the Aussies

Nothing wrong IMO at drawing a little inspiration from other successful designs. The motor mount and suspension blocks are very T3. The upper bulkheads are very HB Cyclone. I can't really see the resemblance to the Photon. Maybe I missed something.
As for TITC? I'd like to go but I'm just about to move into a new place which will drain the bank account a bit so I'm not sure.

Of course 3Racing needs to borrowing other car's idea. Who in the market can really come up a car with brand new design and be successful? Even the first class manufactures like Tamiya, Xray, HB can't guarantee that. By borrowing the good ideas from other cars then combine it all to be a 3Racing car is the easier way for them to do. I guess 3Racing has no world class driver helping them on design. Just some average drivers helping them on doing this project. Please do not expect this car can be like 416X, T3. Aleast they do not have the good resources on doing the world class marketing, knowledge of design and advance manufacturing. I think one step down would be suitable on applying the market position from those world class cars. This would be like another Photon in the market position. All of those is not very important for 3Racing, the only question for them is. Is this car can generate more profit for 3Racing? I think the answer is YES.
More and more RC parts and cars are making in China now. No wonder Chinese is so rich now.

As for the layshaft resembling the Photon...the Photon's layshaft mounts connect to the upper deck, this car does not. Also did anyone notice one of the motor mount screws is behind the spur gear? That may make gear mesh adjustment a bit difficult.

I think it has more to do with the fact that there is only so many different ways to design components so of course parts will resemble other cars. True they don't have world class marketing but they do in design...what most people don't realize about 3Racing is RC is not their main business...they are an aerospace company. So they do have design and advanced manufacturing knowledge.

With the Xray spur gears, there was no problem. But with other spur gears it was harder.
I build in first the motor and after that the spur gear. I didn't tighten the screws of the motor. Only the one that I could reach. I set it right and as that was done, I removed the spur gear and tightened the other motor screw.
The reason that the cars look like each other is also because some things work well and as you want to be original, you still have tings that look like other cars.
Mount the lipo in the center and you look like a TM.
The car looks good and I want to now how it preforms.
I will not switch to it because I love my TOP but it would be a second choice of me.
As the spur gear mount fits on the Photon I will make it red and use that one. It looks good.

As for the motor mounts....that will be difficult. The Xray does that but Xray spurs and RW Xray spurs have large holes you can get a hex driver through. But you won't be able to use Xray spurs with that spur gear mount. But all cars have there quirks.

Friend with the Photon have said it is a deterrent to trying different link centres.
Bring on some more piccies Mr 3Racing

Let's hope the car is faster than there website ;-)
Anybody knows what they mean by SLP (Steering locker pin) ?
