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

Maybe it would've been easier for Harry, and the VPI folks just to use a "RD" suffix, designating "Rim Drive"? Sure begins to cause mucho confusion when one wishes to speak of any of thier Turntables. Mark
