Nice, i hope this marks a more aggressive entry into the ETS series and support classes as well.

I hope that this is going to be released. I've always thought that pod design would be fantastic for F1. I was real close to having a chassis made but I couldn't decide which front end I was going to use. I put it on the back burner as I moved away from F1. This will definitely bring me back.

CRC design is a little bit different from Tamiya, as you can have adaptative camber and reactive caster, it is quite important.

Really- it is the same basic Tamiya orginal frontend on the CRC. The orginal CRC F1 had the Tamiya frontend. All version present is just a modified version of the F103 frontend.I still have some of the orginal F1 chassis by CRC when we raced on foam tires.Most everyone use the newer Tamiya frontend .

there’s no reactive caster on the CRC front end.

If you shim the rear screw between the lower and upper bulkhead, you can get some reactive caster in there.

Funny thing is, there could easily be by just molding alternate top caps (1543) for the front end.
