The rear of the car has some pretty unique features as well:

- Aluminum hingepin blocks have plastic balls that snap into them so that there is not excess force applied to the aluminum when changing antisquat/toe-in

- Steel outdrives with large diff rings that go to the very edge of the inside race of the diff gear. This makes for a longer lasting diff by dissapating heatfaster, and also increases surface area which means less wear on the diff balls.

-Gear cover that is virtally air tight, there is a lip around the entire black molded plastic diff cover that wraps around the aluminum motor plate. No more lost gear cover plugs on this car, the gear cover plug is actually tethered to the gear cover.

-Chunky CVA drives make the rear suspension bind free throughout suspension travel.

-Academy Rear hex rims are standard of course, but for those who want to use LOSI/AE/Proline rear rims, just remove the hex adaptor and use the pin drive instead. The width stays the same being that the ACADEMY rims offset is different then the others listed above.

-Multi Length Pivot (MLP) on the hub carrier and rear arm for long or short suspension geometry, along with vertically mounted ballstuds on the bulkhead are also featured on this new car.

More to come.....
