No it's not the angle of the picture, that plate does go into the motor plate.

Has the Team developped the car in dirt conditions? Or have you focused the design for UK tracks (astro, carpet)?

Can you use the old SV1 shell if you was to cut the spur gear cover part out?

The rear camber plate is the same as before just the shape has changed to accomadate the new mounting position for the rear anti-roll bar.

Considering development was ongoing over the winter, and the only indoor dirt track in the UK closed a while back, I'd guess it's astro/carpet focused.

It may well work on dirt - with the saddles in place, and maybe a few weights either side to induce more weight transfer? You could take a few hints from the 22 and X6 - rear weight placement, lots of toe-in, that sort of thing. This design would allow a stubby lipo to be placed across the back of the car.
