1) Metal cross brace on the front shock tower
2) Looks like a modded diff pinion and drive shaft setup
3) Droop screw is reversed (I wonder why??)
4) Rear toe block looks different than the XRAY upgrade

I just noticed no transponder mount too. Sorry guess I looked too fast as there was nothing intriguing other than driveshaft setup.

He may be using the Mugen droop screws. Thats all I use now also. They have regular button heads on the side that hits the chassis, and they are adjustable from the top or the bottom. They last allot longer than the standard set-screw type and they don't gouge the hell out of your chassis

Doesn't look like mushroom head Mugen droop screw to me, note there is no hex (facing up) for wrenching...

OK I'll try and tame down my shopping finger..problem is it's also my throttle finger so it tends to go straight to max
Hoping I can find them at tower as I want to order a dozen O'donnell 97T plugs at the same time and they have the best price.

I don't think he is using the mugen (button head droop screws.) Looks like they made some mods to compensate for the different rear arm mounting position. Buttonhead would catches the bottom of the chassis, it appears they used lock nuts.

looks like might be using lock nuts to reech chassis as with lengthened toe block and short arms (guess) from pics that a traditional set screw wouldnt even hit the chassis
all the same looks like the 2011 xray is going to have some great upgrades and changes when it comes out i
i am thinking of getting one agian to try out with kyosho shokcs since i have a set of mp9 tki shocks

wow that left rear lock nut is not even close to the chassis. With the size of those nuts his droop settings must be all screwed up.

An upside down car can be very decieving but trust me the droop screws touch, the bolts are long due to new wishbone holders.
Locknuts, rough track thats hard & very demanding on a car doesnt take long to work out the maths.
