has there been any mention of 2 layshfts? that must be the only way to use 3 belts in that way (agree with terry.sc and sparrow.2) cruise only mentioned that 'one' of the shafts was up with the top deck, the forward one may be low down. love all this speculation! i would have thought it quite inefficient to run like that-suppose it won't matter with brushless anyway? would be nice to see it with some well made belts and alloy pulleys as standard!

It has to have two layshafts in order to work the way cruise has explained it. If the motor is in the front it will end up transmitting power to the front layshaft I reckon.

This is going to make it tight for the steering, or it is going to push the layshaft and motor back too far to do anything nice with the batteries.

At least it doesn't sound like it's going to be a BJ4WE clone (not that I don't like the layout, it's just that it's nice to have different takes on a problem...)

Whoa. The S2 is 108mm, and that's anorexic.

Well don`t nail me down on the exact size but its only two cells with the minimum material around.They didn`t let me measure it so it just calibrated eyes.

Another clue .... oh the suspense!!!

Seriously though, I'm glad to see all the hype around this car building expectations .... will be great to see Schumy back at the sharp end.

That makes sense. Batteries in the center, "centered" differentials, and the ability to easily change trans. gearing/overdrive.

There is a "center" one way integrated in the drivetrain.It`s got an on/ off option.

You will be able to fit a stick type lipo without getting the weight balance out of shape.

I reckon it looks like this....

and no, the drawing's not to scale and would need a little adjustment to fit the servo at the front, but its more to explain how the transmission 'could' look.

Bored Phil?

I think it's still using B4 wishbones or something, that's why we can't see it....

More like they're made of something weak and snap easy, oh perhaps they're Losi XX4 arms.

Bored?? no, just an excuse to test the new network scanner that's appeared in the office.

I agree with phil i was thinking along those lines, but why have a 4+2 cell combo if the cells go down the centre

also what do they hope to achieve with that transmission setup? is it really going to be that much better as it looks a bit over engineered to me.

Interesting though especially now everyone knows shaft is best

It might be 4 cells inline then 2 cells at 90 degrees, I don't see why they would do that though as it is basically a stick pack

Perhaps it's a 4/2 hump pack (old skool)
