Oh I don't know, it looks an interesting way to mount the servo horn onto the steering servo.

Agreed rich but it's a good layout you have to agree and if it makes a competitive car then the more the merrier I say

The real test though, is it a good enough design to please Mr Instone?!

Don't you know rich, a shaft drive will NEVER win the worlds - so I doubt it!

back to this though, I've not done anything with an SBv2 but I've held one and I know the chassis was too flexible - not sure if they solved that but it just had too many cut outs for cells (12!!!) this should be a lot better with the shorter top decks and stuff.

I like the layout, it looks like a well made car. From a glance it looks a little like the bj4!

The wiring is done to allow Mr Instone to reminis about the days of unplugging Mr Mad Mike Bartons cells when it innevitably went out of control....

If that could mean a cheap car in that design, I would be tempted....

This image shots are from Team ART prototype 4WD buggy X1. The final production will be different from the images. We have heard that Team ART kit will be ready for IFMAR this coming SEP in Japan, and their team drivers will participate IFMAR with Team ART X1.

More Information will be updated.
