Photo 3 - The tubbed version of the car, i am pretty sure Simon Reeves and Brian Preddy ran the car, problem i had was it really needed some aluminium parts like the motor plate instead of plastic which flex a lot. And with a XX4 rear end and a Cat SX front end, it would be to expensive to produce a kit as you need two donor cars. But with 3mm pitch and wider belts it was better suited for brushless and lipos.

When I ran the car at Eden Park it was really good, but like Jonathan said it needed 2 parts made out of alloy, as when the motor got hot the heat transfer caused the motor mount to twist and flex, as it was made from delrin.
