No not legal:cry:, but it works for club racing, as everyone here (Holbeach) have them. When I start to do a bit more competative racing, then I will run the standard pod and gearing. Just bought a LRP SPX for it - should get it on Wednesday (Thanks DMS...:thumbsup:). I had a Nosram Hawk Power, but the delayed reverse did my (and the marshall's:p) head in!!

Next move is to 'counter sunk' the chasis.

Didnt think you could get Rebels anymore :eh?: Is it a current kit and is that a standard mini shell?

ive done that to my mardave and it was hard thing to do but well worth it. i'll be posting a pic of my mardave later but you will pysl when you see it.

Mardave now do a counter sunk chassis in different colours;);)

[Dreadstar]

Mardave were talking about re-releasing the Rebel kit,but this is an original one.Yes the Mini body is a standard one,it's just been cut and fitted to my Rebel chassis,that's all.The V12 chassis has been countersunk,with the exception of the rear spring screws,as I haven't been able to find any M3x25 CSK screws yet.I hope that I can get them before the Scottish iGP on the 8th February,when I'll be racing the V12 with the Dodge shell.

[cwilson]

well here are the photos of the car. in total there are 44 cable ties holding the sheel together. i got bored so i counted them. hopefully i will be getting a new shell soon so this one can be binned.

who countersunk your chassis cwilson?

[cwilson]

ok i didnt. brookie did it but it was still hard to do.

[Dreadstar]

The new version of the Rebel is due to be released in March of next year,with suspension more akin to the V12,and with a new Lexan bodyshell.It will have a wider wheelbase than the original,and use the V12 wheels,according to Chris Wilkinson.:D

[qatmix]

They are also releasing a few other cars in the new year as well :)

I will try to post my pics of my Cosworth on here tonight. Although The custom chassis is still being worked on.
