havent noticed before but by looking at this pics! the side pulleys look like directly
placed over the shafts, no more pulley adapters (perhaps less rotating mass), no rear
chasis brace due to alum bulkeads so no need for that, and the radio tray is open in the back so to go give space to the fuel tank and also providing maximum flex to the chasis, also by looking at the chasis i see two holes, perhaps that is to use screws when flex is not desired!
finally if it goes like the mrx series, i see the first upgrade the turnbuckle in the front uprights to be replaced for a longer one, stock is 22mm, in the mrx series 30mm is used, but i will say
maybe 27mm is enought, anyway lets wait and see
will keep it posted
btw just ordered RPM tires, which are now imported by mugen racing in the US, rpm tires are manufactured by matrix in italy! so now you have ennety and rpm tires to choose from!

I think those holes in the chassis might be for mounting weights.
Interesting mounting of the front lower arms, similar to the Photon.

agreed! for now gotta wait til release, id hope it comes with a top notch clutch so to keep it up with capricorns, id say it will be something similar to the mrx5 optional used on the last worlds but in smaller size
