There are a lot of little differences that really add up.

The front end spindles and carriers got an overhaul giving more steering throw and placing the dogbone in a different spot as well as the steering arm. There are new front arms that allow for this more steering.

The front and rear shock towers are new due to the large and longer bog bore shocks. The shocks got some serious work with all machined parts so they are SUPER smooth now. There are new springs as well that are tapered.

The driveline got dogbones which frees things up an helps with wear as well.

The rear wing got a gurney flap

The chassis has more flex for more overall traction and ease of drive.

You get all the goodies you want to use in the box now.

the ackerman arm has ball bearings now.
