Simply amazing!

Since those classes seem to have so many rules, it will probably be illegal just like every other innovative idea.

It seems I cannot view the pictures, as I am not a member of that forum...

same here...

Those classes have almost NO rules compared to every other form of R/C. Most rules are in controlling the body designs, and in that, mostly the EDMs out there. Nothing on the 2wd car from Dynotech that would make it illegal, but the GFRP car is 4wd, and not legal for any 2wd class. That's the same for anything in any form of R/C racing. Not sure why Dustin would have wasted his time on something like that unless there is a local sedan class that he wanted to attack.

you forgot one of chads other really interesting designs, that was before Dustin's 4wd car. The "Boomerang 4"

WOW, apparently I can't see pics on this site either!

"We have made a new car, with many new features, and some standard ones also. The new car features a conventional front suspension and conventional rear suspension. It also features a fully machined aluminum chassis(carbon fiber to follow), a Associated GT trans with a billet machined motor plate, bell cranks for steering, adjustable front end(slides from center to the right), rear adjustable a-arms and the newest feature, a carbon fiber sliding battery tray that moves your battery to the left front when you turn the wheel to the left and then slides the battery back to the left rear when the wheels are straightened out. when you turn the wheels to the right the tray goes into a over ride and the battery does not move at all. The tray is supported by 3 ball bearings and Teflon washers for a friction free movement. The bell cranks can be adjusted to limit the travel of the tray for different tracks." -chad smith
