Only the fixed timing motors , but not gearing for TC or set up! was tryping to be sarcastic .
Sounds to me like there basically banning Awesamitix from the ETS racing , for thing outside of the box .

Ouch! ETS Not allowing the car due to it being superior and innovative. I don't know if that's a compliment or just some other companies not wanting to have their inferior FWD design (more like copy) stomped on. Oh well, I'll wait and see where else this car is going to be banned before I plan to buy one. I don't need another shelf queen

This all sounds very reminiscent of the YR-F2

I don't know if its relevant for this chassis, but how is Ackerman adjusted? It doesn't seem to be obvious from the manual or setup sheet.

Looks like spacers under the inner ball stud tie-rods like most TC's

Ackerman is adjusted by adding or removing shims on the steering link balls (the inner ones where the servo arm attaches to) moving them either inwards (towards the rear of the car) or outwards (towards the front of the car). the outer balls by the wheels will adjust your bump steer.

Rather than ban a mid motor design, ETS could simply lower the weight limit, which would favor the front motor design.

Maybe there is an unwritten flintstone(Xray) template everybody must follow or else....I guess the exotek pzero effect bit the Awesomatix team hard this time...lol....Maybe the A team should think about making a nitro sedan kit or something: Nt1 watchout !!!

Wouldn't it be legal to just run a front belt in a tc or taking out my tc4 rear diff ???? Doesn't FWD mean that only the front wheels pull the car ???
