Dont think that was the car........................ looks the same to me. We now have 4 or 5 cars that now look exactly the same (in terms of layout).

On the outside looks very bland and samey as soo many out there, however if you look deeper there is more to it, Like:

Wire stay
Adjustable Diff Oil
Flexi Chassis
Motor Mount
Diff Removal
Gear Diffs
Adjustable Bump Steer

So all in all, It's an exciting car IMHO.

Well done XRay, nice advances and touches.

I like the new motor mount way, looks very impressive. In fact the whole car looks impressive itself

Looks good, but thing it needs is some colour! I can see whoever gets one of these breaking out the shiny screws and washers as it's a bit,..... No more like very drab and that makes it look a bit cheep.

Errrm and then the shell, probably works a treat but only it's mother would love it

Yes, exactly what I was thinking. Probably going to be a very competitive and well made car but looks a little dull at the moment. Nothing a tenners worth of shiny screws and washers would not sort

The more info page on the website makes it look interesting, but that's what its designed to do i guess.
looks well thought out, but will have to wait to see if its a contender of not

I agree....From the general layout and wide angle pictures available up until now I was thinking it was just another B44 clone but from these pictures the level of design and detail are on another level altogether....impressive
