Instead of making new front shock bodies or shafts, they are able to use parts currently available since they are already making new front arms. By adding the hump for the front lower mounting they can keep the shocks the same and still have the required travel.
Same with using front hex wheels. Without knowing 100% sure, I'm assuming they are using the same front and rear wheels. This would be a huge cost savings because they won't have to make a new front wheel just for the SC210.

I can understand what your saying about using existing parts although I would think it would make more sense to put a shorter tower on vs raising the lower mounts. Seems to make more sense keeping everything as low as possible.
As for the hexes on a shortcourse it makes perfect sense to have them on the front. I just converted mine from the old AE front axles to hexes so I could run the wheels on the front or rear and it is nice. What I dont understand is the rush for 2wd buggys to have hexes on the front. the big thing I see is rotating weight. with the old style the axle is fixed and only half of the wheel bearing is rotating. With the hex style half of the bearing is spinning along with the axle(usually steel) the pin, hex and wheel nut. Im not sure if its enough to matter but I would think every little bit helps.

The car IMO looks production ready and may be the reason why we are having issues getting more parts for the DEX210. This car uses ALOT of the the same pieces the 210 has. The reason I say it looks production ready is I cannot point out 1 piece from another manufacturer.
I give it till the start of the summer season, June is my guess. Only because of Parts availability.

Maybe the longer length necessitated larger and more sturdy side pods, adding too much weight. Either way, I'm ready to get my hands on one.

The stock plastic on the Losi SCT are junk. Flex like wet noodles.
