From the looks, this is the Mid with the carbon chassis? For some reason, I though the name was different. I have one, but I got it in a trade so didn't build it myself. It's been a shelf Queen it's whole life.

I love that paint job though, did you...

Wrong tyres and some overheating issues but overall it's first race went well.

Ended up on my roof 3 or 4 times :( but still happy with 3rd in the B final.

I was the only person running brushed (19 turn) and all the other cars were 24 or more...

Last post

Looks like the old lady was going just as well as the more modern cars in these peculiar conditions! At least the suspensions aren't too stressed :mrgreen: It's all in the tires...

good job!

Box standard thing at the moment - but it's a special anyway :) I might want a different shock tower for very angled long shocks in the front.
