What would make this really awesome is if they had designed the body shell to emulate the manta ray!!
They seem like the small LiFe batteries they're trying to use in all of their new releases - or it's a stick pack with two braces over the top of it, making it look like 3 batteries I just hope they make it compatible with regular size batteries as well or this chassis won't sell.

Anyway, I hadn't spotted the offset on the gears yet. I don't see though why they didn't use a single shaft and two gears less instead then if it's not a diff, this just results in more mass, and in the exact spot where you don't want it: Your drivetrain. It also doesn't seem to result in any advantages for moving the motor more to the center.
