Looking at the pictures on mcd`s site I noticed two things.The front and rear drive shafts are on a angle Idont know if that means anything or not,it may wear the drive cups. The other thing I noticed is there is no roll cage.The closer I look it reminds me of a losi 5t,the throttle/brake servo set up ect. Just my opinoin,I would not spend that kind of money.I will keep my rr4 comp and convert my losi 5t to a buggy.
 
I'm hearing they are approx. $2,500 Australian dollars which represents good value in my opinion.
These cars have a lot of nice features and its good to see they are totally redesigned and not just a different paint job.
I look forward to seeing one on the track.
 
The Buggy is Ground up Race design ,Top Quality progressive all new LSD'S
Easy to work on ,No Dog Bones all CVD's ,Large Ball Drives ,and CVD type

you are correct, the ferox was the first 1/5th to turn sideways i believe and losi have been doing it in nitro for yrs,

however the losi is the most recent mainstream rc to go that route and have proved that it works very well re: handling and balance

One of the German manufacturers, WWS Racing produced a 4WD buggy called the Fox Pro 4WD with the engine rotated sideways and like the much later Ferox the engine leaned in..... The buggy was due for release in early 2005 but I don't think it made it beyond the prototype stage.

There was another buggy/truck produced in limited numbers a few years later, where the engine was mounted sideways but far from the centre of the chassis, it made production but flopped. I believe it was called the Mach One.
 
There are some more drawings on MCD's website. http://www.mcdracing.com/parts.php There are 3 pages. After looking at the LSD diff parts they are a clutch type lsd, friction disk on the output shaft, and the pressure coming from the spider gears via the ramps holding the spider gear set....
