Didn't a recent Tamiya car do something similar with a layshaft only supported by one side? The variation in bulkhead/aluminum color is slick, very eye catching.
Also, are those the CVD blades Mr. Hudy designed himself, originally carved from a brick of gold?

That is why the bulkheads are squared off over the battery.

QUOTE from syndr0me "Didn't a recent Tamiya car do something similar with a layshaft only supported by one side? The variation in bulkhead/aluminum color is slick, very eye catching.
Sort of...The Tamiya Anniversary edition Porsche has a cantilevered rotating lay shaft. It goes through the motor mount and into a 2nd bearing block held away from the motor mount with spacers. It looks cool but its overly complicated.
The Mi3 lay shaft is fixed and the bearings are in the pulleys. This is much more simple and has much lower rotating mass.

Yes, the very ones...

Once in a great while an innovation occurs that so completely improves upon what is available that it sparks a change from one way of thinking to another. It's a revolution, a transformation, a metamorphosis where old ideas are left behind and a new way of thinking takes over.
The Schumacher Mi3 is the first next generation touring car. It will set new standards for 4WD electric touring car design. Featuring a host of design innovations and a unique ultra modern look the Mi3 will be the car to beat at race tracks around the world and the benchmark all new touring cars will be compared to.

As for the car, its good to see Schumacher back to their old tricks again. Doing something different than everybody else, but still having it work just as well or better.
I wonder if this car could peacefully co-exist on the pit table with my TA05.
