Quick glance reveals it to be 3 belt system with the motor pretty much in the same spot as the XX-4, saddle packs in the back, esc in the same spot, essentially XX-4 front geometry.
Nice to see how theyve resolved the XX-4 front bulkhead issues, having the arm mounting block mounted under the alloy chassis (like the 22). Judging from the angle of the chassis in relation to the outdrives i'd say theres a cut-out or hole in the front of the chassis that the front pulley sits into.

Well, what is clear is that it's a prototype - how much is retained from the prototype that ran that Nats track the day after, and what's actually used at next month's worlds, and how much is changed prior to release (maybe) by the end of the year, is hard to say.
We'll see!
