those rear wheels look awfully proprietary. nice to see a cheap car and this one doesn't look bad at all. though that rear axle has me worried. Im sure you could just swap the hubs out with crcs or similar. also, doesnt look like adjustment for dynamic caster? i could probably live with that as i tend to leave mine at 10 pretty much all the time.

kinda makes you wonder how associated can get away with charging $289 for a peice of cf and a few peices of aluminum. you would think a company of their girth could manage this price point much sooner ha.
