I remember an on road chassis but can't find the info. Some like the bolink quick change plate used large traces for the battery connection. Then there is this guy, I don't know much of the story but it's pretty cool!
I forget who it was that surface mounted the electronic speed controller into their fiberglass chassis... mid-to-late 80's on-road car... I'm terrible with names.![]()
