I think it will do pretty well, that front end is like the old Schumacher Cat.
... am curious, why there is a "mid Transmission" instead of a Motor to center diff setup like on the 1:8 buggies.
And would not be surprised if it is offered later with a Gas Motor ala' the Dynamite .30 gas motor.
The diffs with slipper plates is a pretty cool setup, no slipper needed at the transmission. My FG was stout, so who knows, even with the arms inserts, maybe something will come later i.e. Carbon parts, bypass shocks, and rear diff options.
