Any chance of letting us know any more details?
3 prototypes were made. The car went very well on our typical high grip tracks. We just haven't had time to take it any further

I made a CF version named X7. Never got it to work good though, think the chassis is to stiff.
This is how i solved the gearbox mounting. I used the Ass GT2 nose piece.

We have the same problem with the SCX - 60CF: How to mount the transmission? Answer: a transmission cradle. Will be available as a part as soon as the SCX - 60CF is ready, in 2-3 weeks we hope.

You could almost mount that straight on the back of a Centro chassis. No doubt people will try, once the cradle is available.

Looking good mate; will be interested to hear how it goes vs standard car. Is the chassis standard length?

What are your plans for the body?
