I revised the suspension again: arms are finally upside down as i wanted from the get go. And , also finally, got rid of the black bakeliet chassis. An old trx1 chassis took its place. The saddle pack is gone and replaced by a shorty.
It looks like I can fit the original shell and undertray after trimming the rear section of the chassis but for now I recycled an old tamiya shell.

This is really a cool car! Usually when I click on the links with the weird car names I never heard of, it is interesting still, but the car is some kind of freakshow :lol: This looks to be a top notch kit, comparable to the big names.

Glad to see you still have it. I guess the toddler from a few pages back is a teenager by now :lol:

The car holds a nice middle between its inspiration and lower end hobby-grade which means it is good enough qualitywise but with plenty opportunity for improvement.
The toddler, now teenager, let me take an updated picture. Here it is along with some details in better lightconditions.

Very cool! I like the 3 spoke wheels. I had loads of the Schumacher 3 spokes for my CAT and Cougar 2000s.
