The WB is set at the b4 +8mm I used it as a guide for that dimension...The only real similarity to an old mid car is the tranny case turned around. well and the use of the suspension parts...I had mmore peoople ask me if i was running the motor backwards. somme had hard time seeing and unnderstanding that it does not runn motor backwards to perform it, races in normmal rotation

youve been busy man! thats too cool.
I got a swiss cheesed chassis laying around here, wanna help me with another project?
I love how you reconfigured the steering bellcranks. Are you going to be running this at any of the capitol dirt club races? we finished a new layout this sunday...its pretty cool

Did you run this in the normal 17.5 or mod class? i assume your other car is the pink one in 17.5 classic and mod classic. Which set up do you prefer? Killer job on this mid conversion, maybe x-factory or centro should take note and make a mid conversion kit...

Oh she is coming apart. i have ordered CF to do another full race version,,I did this chassis, and towers, so that i could use them as a template for more buggies in the future.. i have already redesigned it with probably 25% less material and bulk in back and a more efficient rear mounts.....

I'd like to see the side rails to see how you modified and cut the pan to make those bends in the back.

very cool stuff. This is the only way to make forward cab bodies look good haha
. The pictures so far have been really helpful in helping me understand how you made this rc10 mid. Nice cars as always and I cant wait to see the carbon edition
