Marcos, have you seen any shots of the right side of the chassis.opposite the motor? I'm curious as to how much things got moved on that side. It appears they've just given everything a good shove to the right, doesn't it? The motor plate should prove interesting.

The droop setup is very interesting. The engineers at Tamiya deserve a pat on the back for this one. It remains to be seen how well it holds up on the track. I suspect there will be a niche market for little metal pads or covers for the point where the droop screws meet the chassis. I'm trying to figure out how they'll accommodate the droop system on the rear with the different wheelbases and the arms getting flipped over, etc.
