Why are the pulleys and the tranny on the opposite side? Is that how it is, or is the picture mirrored?

It took me a minute, but it looks like the motor and pulley are way different. I had to take a double take.

I am pretty sure the image is mirrored.

Otherwise exhaust/pipe manufacturers would need to make reversed pipes and manifolds just for this car like they once did for the FW05 cars (.12).

You're kidding aren't you ? What's the purpose of it, and what are the advantages? It would mean the need for exhausts exclusive to Capricorn, different bump starter setups etc..

For images that are inconsistent with this claim this link click here: http://www.redrc.net/2010/10/first-i...on-racing-car/ , and here (scroll down for pictures): http://www.capricornrc.com/capricorn/



Kindest regards,
