Reminds me of my first "Remote " control car , one chanel sonic control ,went forwards and backwards in a circle by means of a single front caster wheel that flopped round when in reverse , I was a little disappointed .
This should be more fun .

Yup

Yup

It's like a bicycle, axle in front of pivot.

I am gonna make the body (i hope)....pure custom..I got some ideas but it's gonna be a struggle

Made some revisions on the suspension..real smooth now!...that's a front shock from the Avante

That shock shaft is longer that some 1:1 scale cars

Early stages of the body...4 sections...sections will be hand made from lexan sheets, there will be a stabilizer fin in the back and winglets up front...skinny aluminum rear wheels coming too

Along side Dadio, which offered me any 3d printing I needed, and will be on the side of this car as "Dadio Designs"...I picked up another local sponsor today...$500 check...and another $1000 if I break the record!..so cool some people actually dig it!
