C'mon guys!

The design is kinda Volvoish / boxy, but the engineering is very clever indeed! I like it when engineers think for themselves, there are way too many factories just copying successful designs!

Mi first thought was: "Ah! Why haven't anyone thought of that before?!" I mean, the driveline has always been "in the way", so why not move it! I'm sure you all know that for track nitro cars the long belts are put out on the side.

Will be interesting to see how it handles!

Schumacher as far as I know have always been known for making winning cars. Complicated and a bit vulnerable perhaps, but still a winner in the right hands. I'm sure it will be fine after SP1!

Open gears is never ideal, but as well as the body is well closed I guess it should be no biggie... Should be possible to make some wafer thin lexan covers also perhaps?

And don't pick on the shell! It's not too bad! And that's always highly subjective! I mean, I know many like the TRF501-X body. Myself I'm just wondering when it will transform into a robot... I'm qute sure I've seen that car in a Transformers movie!

*applause*

BTW what's the idea behind the Schuey logo??? (the 3 arrows)
