I'm interested in the two rearward facing "turbo black exhausts" that sort of warns those tailing to BACK OFF!

I think the orange part is a reactive caster adjustment. So the hinge pin can be positioned flat (normal), tilted forward (less caster when turning) and tilted backward. (correct me if im wrong).

I think they will... Just a matter of time. I just have a sneaky suspicion that the Hudy factory is tied up with the XB8 buggy on top of their current demand on Xrays etc. Look at the XB8 buggy ! All those PRECIOUS Hudy spring steel stuff wasted on that car !
I don't know how many outdrives can be made with one buggy's worth of Hudy springsteel.

But Hudy have distanced themselves from Serpent big style Is this a sign that they are going to produce a Nitro tourer - natural step, really. Having said that, a lot of the guys want a 1:12th pan car from Hudy.

More than anything, what I notice is how Michael is trying to get some anti-dip with the front orange block. Look at the setting of the spacers ...

Which spacer is this? Caster clips?

Something might be different in terms of cooling holes position but I might be wrong since I do not have a chance to see my car for almost 3 weeks by now

They have distanced themselves and now the buggy, the natural step is to release a tourer
It is a shame for us serpent guys is my opinion.
Why else would you have hudy steel outdrives on a 705 and then go backwards and release these problem outdrives with a new car, that have caused everyone grief
It would have made sense to release the hudy one's with the kit

Yes. The monoblock looks silver. Perhaps it's still prototype because if you go to mytsn, they say that they have two version of the monoblock. One for the Nova type design and the other would be for the new Mega engines.
