It's in production now. ES 008 when it gets here, probably in about a month. Then we must package and ship. So around Aug 1 in U.K. if all goes well.

It's been a while coming. We've wanted to do it for the longest time -- we've paid a lot of money over the past four years drilling and tapping two holes in every motor plate knowing what we would put there. But first we had to go from 3 gears to four, then the 5 Squared, then the truck and 6 Squared, then the Kit. Of course, going from 3 gears to 4 meant a re-design of the heat sink/fan mount -- start over from zero and all that other stuph in the way.

We finally got prototypes last month and discovered they would not fit with the DDP 023 tranny brace. So Paul re-worked Ellis' design -- re-design # 3!

It will come with a nifty little fan too that blows on the motor. Some things seem to take forever...
