Will be interesting to see what they come up with. No point in making a clone of the other gear cars. Got to be configurable for all surfaces. Hopefully some sort of interesting belt drive car that allows a more rearwards motor position than KF with still a forward motor position possible too. Maybe the motor will rotate in the other direction in car with the forward mount. Could get rid of the final hangover from the 80s, 25 degree front kick. Moving to 15 degree would be an advantage on high traction, less pitch. Also B6 style arm outer pivot position adjustment, that is quite neat.

If not, how about a 5 gear laydown car that gets the motor even further forward than the current crop of 3 gear laydowns... Anyway, just a bit of armchair engineering!
