Got a ways to go still :wink: I'm sending off a batch of aluminum for black anno soon, thinking this chassis should go. Rounding up some "classic" parts and cutting the parts from black g10, should be getting closer to the right look soon. I'm dragging my feet a little cause I am always hopeful to find a real one to compare it to and see how we did before outlaying a ton of money on carbon fiber. There is a new lead that Phin found, may be a dead end but worth trying.

You can send your "test" parts to me then, no anno needed, raw alloy looks awesome.

I'm thinking 17.5, non boosted, shorty pack up front & of course, the VW body. Modern 2.2 tires to boot.

Oh...drill my version for a stealth too :)

Oh...you want the V2.0 chassis. That one has been in my mind for a while now. Stealth up front with better geometry (not relying on the pics) and a pair of upright shocks in the front maybe. More rear steering and better linkages with better bellcranks. Swap back to the associated ball joints with rpm ends and Lundsford titanium. Kyosho universals. 2.2 wheels. Yeah....I'm planning on one too :mrgreen:

If I can get Wes to cut out and bend another chassis I can cut the flat g10 parts, and I think I could get you a roller for testing. No big bores tho please :lol:

Mini update, thanks to J-Sou and Sayre16. J-Sou drew the parts into a cad file and Wes cut them out with a big frickin laser. Now that we know the dimensions are good, the next step is g-10- one step closer to carbon fiber

Oh, and I got a body on it. This car is the one that will be the runner, so it has associated ball joints and other things that aren't 100% correct. The other lot of parts will be the finished shelf car with almost all new parts

That is one crazy looking car you have man. I admire your desire to build some really unique stuff, keep up the work on this. I have got to see of a video of this thing when you get it running.

I'd love to take credit for that craziness but I'm just copying the original craziness!

It is unique, that's for sure! Makes me wonder if they hadn't changed the rules where fwd would be now
