Chris, having the motor transverse and the very low CofG are the key to the KF's ability to run "better than it should" in lower grip conditions.
The transverse motor will produce a torque reaction fore-aft rather than side to side meaning that the car is less likely to rotate as you jump on the throttle.
On very high grip it's not very noticeable but as the grip goes it becomes much more so.
I think this is the first of many cars designed with the 2015 worlds in mind.
Looks good to me, can't wait to see what Kyosho / Losi / AE etc. do to compare with it, sure at least one of them will.
