No more kim-chi for you soon he? I bet you won't miss the smell of that
I never understood why they made the shocktower of the mid in 2 parts. Maybe so you could replace the broken top part quicker
Personally I have a bit of mixed feelings over the mids: great looking cars and sturdy enough, good suspension with possibilities to upgrade easily (as you've shown well). But on the other hand; the lack of a slipper is so frustrating, and the mixture of belts and gear-on gear in 1 open gearbox is freightening.
I prefer the yokomo 870C design where you don't need to seal up the belt enitrely. I know the lazer has the same advantage, but somehow I can't get that car together and have it run smooth as the unsoiled mid transmission. So in the end they both sit half-assembled in boxes waiting for a new interest.
