Schumacher Atom

[Rumbl3r]

Anyone got one? Initial thoughts? And can someone answer some basic questions for me please?

Will having an Aluminium chassis and a carbon axle make it more prone to impact damage, carbon axle will break easier and chassis be more prone to getting bent? I'm not suggesting that I have too many heavy impacts

Is the Atom diff now the equivalent of fitting the Zen diff to a SSGT? i.e. will now take the JFT wheels and therefore capable of finding an arbour to fit a tyre truer etc? Or are the Contact wheels for the Atom different again from the Supastox and Zen wheels?

Looking at the Atom, it seems like it's a SSGT with improved versions of the rear upgrades fitted but the front end is still the original beam system. Is this basically correct?

Help me decide if I want one, as if that was ever in doubt really
