?? What's up with the placement of the canards on the X? Unless I'm crazy those will create lift and not downforce?

Looks like a solid build though!

Obviously you have not head of the TME Motor Association's Reverse Racing League. The Evo is a favorite reverse racing platform due to it's AWD, AYC, and a very tall reverse gear hitting speeds well beyond 40. The hard core racers actually rebuild their trannys to have the proper 5 reverse gears but that puts you in the unlimited class which just gets crazy track only rides. For a street class and tire platform in reverse racing it is hard to beat an Evo X.

we're not sure, we didn't do them, they were on when the X arrived! It'll be going on the dyno momentarily actually
