Motor wires through the belt is ok as there is plenty of room, and deinitely the neatest solution for the wiring. It's also not a problem if you ever need to replace a belt, as all you need to do is take out the two LH Middle housing screws and the feed the motor through the belt. The RH and slipper shaft will already be out. It's a lot simpler than it sounds.
Regarding the purple, or lack of it... There are plenty of option parts still available in purple for those who wish to have it, all the shock components, alloy suspension hangers, optional caster blocks, etc.
We tried lots of different belt combinations to move the motor about in the car for the best performance. Where we ended up gave an easy to drive, stable car that carries lots of corner speed.
A cool feature is that we switched the slipper spring away from the spur, so it sits behind the motor. This opens up loads of room for your electrics, so plenty of space to get everything in!
Another new part is a metal strap in the front bumper that stops the front transmission housings spreading apart in huge crashes.
Parts compatability with the SX3:
The 4 quarters including the suspension blocks are the same, apart from:
- Rear drive shafts (New ones are slightly Longer)
- Rear arms (We now use a single outer pin, old ones will still fit with double pin)
- Rear of the rear suspension blocks (Now M4 to eliminate bending)
The diffs are also the same apart from the diff pulley.
Big Bore shocks will bolt straight on for those who wish to use them.
Regarding gearing, with kit you can get down to 7.35:1. The spur gear fitment is the same as the SX3 so you can run any of our smaller spurs on the car so long as you can still get it to mesh. As an example, 83/26 will give an overall of 5.75:1
