New VPI

I just received my MusicDirect catalog and noticed a new beltless rim drive from VPI. It looks like an "add on" to any VPI table with an outboard flywheel and is standard on the new VPI Reference Super Scoutmaster TT.
Is this belt-less approach similar to previous approaches to drive the platter? (e.g. idler wheel?)
Any info/guidance would be appreciated.
Thanks

LOL. I get kick out the Scout's progression. First the Scout, then the Sooutmaster, then the Super Scoutmaster, then the Super Scoutmaster Signature, and now we have the Reference Super Scoutmaster Signature......what next?
Ulimate Reference Super Scoutmaster Signature?

AFAIK, Chris Brady of Teres originated the 'rim drive' technology. I guess others will follow suit. I'll have to check one out one of these days.

Happy turkey day,
John

BTW, here is quicker access to the VPI/ Music Direct link.

This could be considered revolutionary, no?

Could be....only time will tell.
