Herewith an arrangement drawing of the SpectreCodename for Phantom III rear axle.

When you are considering the cost of this against the Wraith Bangosscheme, perhaps you would bear in mind that the differential assembly on the Wraith is a scaled down version of that on this drawing. The present SpectreCodename for Phantom III axle is actually unnecessarily large for the 25/30.

We hope you will let us have the relative costs as soon as possible, so that we can settle arguments about future design.
