one thing, i just "testmounted" the trannybox "empty" on the chassi, it seems it does not "sunk" in the hole..i mean, it have a gap on 1mm or less between the tranny and chassi where the screws will be attached to hold the tranny in place, is the hole ment to be sanded down a little bit to get it down on chassi?

EDIT it was a little "left over" on the trnny side, that i missed, SO sorry!!, there aint NO problem, it is 100% fit..it is

It shouldn't need trimming/filing, mine went straight in. I've not heard of the other 3 kits I know the owners of having problems either.

Are you 100% sure the tranny is together fully? May I suggest building the tranny up and screwing the motorplate etc on then have another look at how it fits. If you've still got troubles maybe you could take some measurements the hole and box bottom and I'll check everything is correct.

I have to say this car looks awesome - it's only when you get that yummy carbon tub in your hands that it hits home though. I'm starting to need one

As promised:

The S2's you see people receiveing are pre-orders which i have now starting to deliver.

Due to the process used to make a moulded carbon fibre chassis, its not possible
to make the chassis in bulk. So i expect demand to be higher than what i can produce
at least for the next few months.



Thomas isn`t special either




























I might of added the last little bit
