Mine is under way pic to follow soon
1.5 deg toe in & Gold springs with 5mm ride hight at the Axel point , so far ....
Worried about the weight though its getting heavy , I think the Touring car may be needed to pull it along ...................... |
This sounds like the one we will all be aiming for - toe-in, suspension, ride height, weight - very sophisticated and maybe way too fragile!!!!!
Roll on the fun and frolics.

OK, mine has just been started with a 2mm fibreglass chassis (if you can call it that!), Mardave beam axle and will have a nice caravan-like body made from Kelloggs cornflake boxes (designed to absorb impact - well maybe one impact!) attached by bits of wood to the chassis
Attachment to the car currently undecided but most likely by way of string and sellotape. _________________ Sponsored by - Mastercard |
