Is this one going to be tricked out or kept fairly stock with just the chain drive? Very cool project either way and I look forward to seeing it done!
Old school racing all the way!

Are you going to reverse the motor rotation or flip it to the other side of the gearbox?

Do these use common components with Hotshot diffs , I've got those parts I could drop in for testing ?
If a jobs not worth doing then its certainly not worth doing well.

A little off topic, but looking at that diff gear I can't help but think of a chain drive Hotshot?????

That's looking cool as f#@k , how does the diff run , was tricky to get it smooth with home printing and I've been worried about tolerances .
