Sure looks interesting. I wonder if this will be legal for the tub chassis classes (GT3, GT2).

Aside from the odd upper chassis plastic, this looks like it will be a fantastic club car. I can't wait for Exotek to get their hands on it and make a carbon chassis kit.

Does it seem like there's a lack of shock mounting positions?

No the chassis is plastic carbon injected.

There is a 300% chance there will be a hop-up damper mount available.

different. I wonder how you tension the belt? Maybe with the idler pulley next to the motor? I'd like that over using the diff mount cams on the bulkheads.

Looks like a losi xxx-s drivetrain. Hopefully it wont have the same issue of slowing down during turns.
