Well spotted on the gearbox.
There is something to do with the Durango patent apparently but Ho Bao have taken this into account.
It can certainly be run as a 3 or 4 gear mid motor and also a 3 or 4 gear rear motor. I ran it as a 4 gear mid motor.

The front end is quite like a 22, but uses bellcranks rather then a rack for the steering. The gearbox has the motor much closer to the axle too so shouldn't suffer those issues.
The shocks are really nice. I re-filled them a couple of times to find out what sort of oil I wanted (no set-ups available yet so was flying blind). Despite that I never managed to get any air in them!
