Everybody knows flux capacitors are too big to fit in an R/C car. They havent been able to shrink that technology down to 1/10 size yet. LOL!
The 502 and other shaft cars lean to one side because of the longitudinal motor, not because of the centre driveshafts.

The moment of inertia of the driveshafts is insignificant; they are relatively lightweight; slender; have their acceleration cushioned by a slipper clutch and rotate 4x slower than rotor in the motor.

How many times does the DB-02 design need to be explained before people understand why it is the way it is???
