Default YRD prototype car

Well I finally uploaded the pics, spent a while contemplating whether or not to do it. I need to get the price down though, is looking to be atleast £250 or around $400 complete



i
f you have any tc3/tc4/ b4 parts you wish to donate for free, PM me

The design is based on a BJ4,
with:
- lowered shock towers
- lightened chassis, top deck and motor mount.
-It uses 'jconcepts' diff cases, and AE ball diffs. (I am just querying some blue cvd's, which will be of a custom design.)
-The car uses B4/tc4 shocks (depends which I feel best suit the front suspension.)
- Also included will be pins to fit all the different wheels out there. It will also have a revised steering system, which uses custom moulded blocks and includes some tc4/3 parts and a custom moulded shock rocker mount and shock rocker.

I thank you for all your support. Although, could anyone come up woth a better name. I thought, twister v2 or something, but I need a better name.
Anyone who comes up with a better name, well I will use it for the car Price wise, it will be roughly $350-$400 depends on manufacturing costs. I must note, that the car will be made in batches( not spares) and only say 5 will be avaible at first. Let me make the first car, and I will tell you how its going

Any thoughts on design e.t.c would really help too I can confirm it will be tested on UK tracks, so finally we should get a prupose built UK racer

So basically your putting inboard suspension and and different steering geometry on a BJ4?

I'd stay away from the touring car steering, from my experience with the TC3'O it isn't strong enough
