If that's the finished car, they might have a problem with dirt ingression ...

are under trays still made for buggies?
certainly looks a nice car

Yes undertrays are still widely used - but it's not clear wether this car will come with one or not. the other option is chassis film. This design doesn't have a great problem with dirt ingress since there isn't much that could be damaged with dirt and the majority of the drivetrain is sealed.

The problem with this lay out will be motor / pinion access. There isn't a clear shot of the motor mounting but I assume the cells would need removing and possibly require a special (ball hex) driver to make motor install / removal easier.

Hey whats that cavalieri motor, is it just a motor or a hint? :D (rumour mode engaged)

I know from inside information that there is no problem getting the motor in and out with out removing batteries. But who takes out a motor with out removing batteries.;) ;) ;)

Lazy people? lol
good point though. The battery posts are the parts that really seem to get in the way on this design of car.

I meant dirt ingression from the lack of body, by the way. Just my little joke.

Elliott.

you are on a higher plane of comedy - afriad it went right over me :eh?::D

YEAH come on ad, where is the shell.

The only thing I can see that I wouldnt like is that the inner camber links will not go lower than the top plate. On the BJ4 we had to lower the ball ends quite a bit to make it go. Other than that it looks fantastic. Cant wait to see it go round the track:D

Those at the Teesside Regional should get the first veiwings.
I am sure Jimmy will have his camera thrust into Adams car when he arrives.;) ;) ;)

should be fun for adam:D

I will put the little lens on then :o

sound sorta symbolic there jimmy hmmmm:o
poor Adam must be sore from being probed

Apparently vaseline over the lens gives you a soft focus.

There is a current theme of threads decending into smuttiness.... cool.
:D

You told me you wasnt going. I havent booked in.:confused: You just wanted to beat me didnt you?

Par for the course on other hobby forums I frequent. :)

Me and Stu will have to pap Adam then! :eh?:

G

I think I recognize that car from somewhere....:confused:
