The 'Leonis' was an interesting build. The centre gearbox is probably one of the most technical gear boxes I've ever had to build for a 1/10th Off Road buggy. It is very unique. Further, I added the optional slipper clutch as this car will see some racing and 'big' jumps.

However now that it is built, the 'on the table' tests as a roller provides some interesting analysis. The car will definitely require the optional universal shafts in both the front and rear suspension. The dog-bone set up includes o-rings in the diff housing drive cups to keep the dog bones in place. The result is they bind up the suspension travel, a lot! Thus the universals will be ordered very soon along with the metal drive cups for the drive shafts between the gear boxes.

As the car is for my daughter to learn and race with, the CVA shocks wont be replaced for a while yet.

The front gear box is identical to the 502X however the rear gearbox has a different housing halves to the 502X as to obtain the angle so the drive shaft sits over the battery.
