I’m not seeing much in the way of style. You soldered a brass plate between the rails that will completely change the way the car is supposed to flex, then bastardized the motor bracket to mount the brushless motor.

Back in the day, tracks were slower, chassis were often lighter which produced some awesome artwork. Here's a beaauty by Terry Schmid in 2013. To paraphrase Bob Seger, "Today's chassis' ain't got the same soul".
