The small plates are used to change the car's roll center; typically a lower roll center for foam carpet racing, and higher for rubber or outdoors.  Also note the adjustable battery pack mount, allowing the battery to be angled towards the inside front of the car, while maintaining a low CG. (Click to enlarge)

More of Cyrul's car.  If you look closely, you can see that Josh has removed every other tooth from the front differential pulley to help free up the drivetrain.  He says this works well in the front, but only try it in the rear if you are running stock or 19T; in modified, the rear belt can get eaten up rather quickly. (Click to enlarge)
