I finally had a look at this car on the weekend.
Looks nice and it certainly appeared to be working quite nicely for its owner, however my big concern is it is apparently quite brittle from all reports.

Belts, dog bones and CV's seem to be far too easy to break. The 400 running on the weekend dropped or snapped a pin that holds the cv together and apparently the rear belts are breaking all over the place.

Are these concerns being addressed as I really do like the over all design of this car.

Also what is the wrenching like on this car, is it easy to change spurs, diffs and pinions etc, say like the Mi3? and with the 17.5 brushless motors requiring 50-60mm roll out will this car accommodate the spur/pinion combinations that would be required?

Thanks

Aaron
