Looking good With the first shots I saw a while back I was fearing it would be another shaft drive...

...In a way, it is - the layout it mostly obvious - perhaps because it just works best (in which case you might not want to change that)

Looking beyond that I think Xray have made an impressive entry into the 4WDs in terms of design. I love the motor mount (and some other convevient bits and features on the car). Effectively having a plate and a tub chassis is quite an unusual concept. You'd say that raising the CoG by what will probably be 1.5-2mm (compared to a single, flat plate) would be a bad thing, but the way they approach it makes it sound like it's worth it And those front lower arms are promisingly beefy, they look more like 1/8 arms!

There are plenty of features about it to like - if it's a car that most drivers can get a good setup and pace on, then they sure have a winner!
