Its almost like an RC car.
Still looks the mutts nutts though.

Probably nothing at all, but like you say it's like an RC car, just a FG/CF shell over the top of a space framed chassis.

what is that pulsing when a highly tuned V8 starts, is it built into engine or is that the driver pumping the pedal?
