Something I made a few months ago; GRP chassis and Mardave V12 parts:

Same wheelbase as a V12, and V12 motor pod andfront end, but with sideplates to help protect the radio gear/speedo, bumpers cos it's a contact fomula and that little plate (with the metalflake stickers on) to raise the A frames up a little for better steering response.

Few more pics - made a couple of mods by this point, alloy motor mount and a couple of little things:

I'm just working on a carbon fibre version to try out the effects of a stiffer chassis...

Not sure mate, not been over there for MONTHS. If I go, I'll find out though...

Rosco makes some alloy ones now, which very nearly work...nearly...
