herman - where have you been? Almost all our WC-winning cars are 96mm wheelbase. The 430, Aston, and 350Z GT bodies are my personal faves, but different strokes for different folks. Cristian can chime in on what our other drivers like as well.
I am waiting for technical details about the shaft.
The motor mount is for 96mm and the T-plates are designed with RCP use in mind.
If I read this post correctly, its not the blue Fiber Glass T-Plates that result in a 96mm wheelbase but its the motor mount that does. Meaning these T-Plates would result in a 94mm or 98mm wheelbase if used with existing motor mounts from PN or ATM. Can you please confirm? Thanks!
Yes from my understanding the mount is 96mm, the Plates are standard length. You will be able to use our 96mm plates to get 98mm and 102 wheelbases. 94 would not be an achievable configuration if this is the case.

I wonder if the blue-fiberglass T-plates work as good as they look...... I for one am glad to see Atomic putting some fresh stuff on the market.
A 96mm-WB motor pod, instead of 96mm T-plates? That is interesting, I wonder how good the new 96 motor pod is, if it can compare to PN's ultra-fantastic 94-98mm V2 LCG motor pod? The ATM prototype in the pics looks mostly the same as Atomic's 94mm-WB Ver.5 Light-Weight pod design. Not that the ATM V.5 isn't good, but I never bought one since the PN V2 LCG 94mm-WB pod is such an amazing performer. That's the only thing - PN has arguably the best 94-98mm motor pod design, I hope Atomic takes their time and puts out a truly excellent 96mm pod. If it can compare to the PN in terms of performance, a 96mm pod would be a sure-seller IMO.
I dunno about that motor mount. If it really was designed to be 96mm, they could have at least used that extra space to get the motor lower. Watch someone design it right later. Everything else looks pretty nice
