I'd take it off the for sale thread too mate!! This car is awesome to drive. It handles bumps like they arent there, turns in loads and has bloody good rear end grip in the wet compared to any other mid motor car i have driven. I cant answer how it goes compared to the std car as i have only ever done one lap with one. (that did feel a little less responsive compared to this)
Get one, you wont be dissapointed!!

i'm hoping jonathan doesnt want his back after kiddy! lol

These are the current Tardis 22 setups that Griff and Wacker 1 are using -

Griff -
Front - 35 wt, 6 hole 56, Green spring, no limiter in shock.
Rear - 35 wt, 6 hole 55, Yellow spring

4.0 deg HRC
2 deg AS
Front camber - long link, 1mm under both ball studs
Rear camber - 3mm outer 2mm inner, C location out inner hole.
SWB on rear hub
25 deg kickup with 5 deg castor blocks.
110 gram weight under lipos, no other extra weights on the car, no rear bolt on weight either.

Wacker 1 - As above except

Front - 60 wt, 5 hole 1.5mm, Blue or Black spring
Rear - 60 wt, 5 hole 1.5mm, Yellow spring

+ Slinger under motor brass weight, TLR 25 degree brass kickup block and 50gram of weight in the nose.

The shell that Griff and Wacker1 are using is from a local guy, he is still working on the shell and one in the photos is not a final version. Also i understand that Phat bodies is also working on a 22 shell which should also fit the tardis and the FTW Vane shell will also fit but is not customised like the other two for the tardis.

I am pretty sure they are both using Losi oils, yes a lot higher wait oil but also a lot larger hole in the pistons ie 1.5mm and only 5 hole, compared with a 55 @ 1.32mm and 6 hole, and a 56 @ 1.18mm and 6 hole.

I was racing against Wacker1 with his at the weekend and the car looked really good. That car looked good although the track we were running around wasn't the greatest to show how good the car was.

I think a random hose and lack of marshalls thwarted an AC victory

If you want to show the tardis to a large group of possible buyers / 22 drivers you should bring it to taplow rc club some time .. ask for slow bob and we can get you racing for free ..

The relevant part "The interior of a TARDIS is much larger than its exterior (dimensionally transcendental)"

You can remove a little of the gearbox material if you want the link perfectly straight. But we have found no ill effects with the link at a slight angle.
