I give you a lot of respect for designing this car. Keep up the good work.

You guys have to get one of these cars I drove it with a 9x1 mod and the car was a rocket for not having a perfect set up on it!

We are considering a "Touring Car Oval Shootout" to run later this summer or early fall. This would be a one day race and winner takes all. Katfish and myself are going to work on this as far as track location (carpet/pavement), dates, prizes, entry fee, etc. We may contact some sponsors for a raffle or even a cash payout.
Anymore on this idea? Also, anymore on the release of your chassis? Here's my chassis built last Dec that was used at the last Snowbirds race. I've since been running an Xray and it has been real fast.

You should check out the Sliding battery tray from Leading Edge. He has designed one for both the TC3 and the TC4. They are amazing.


These trays are for sale as we speak.

Here is a picture of the bottom.



Here is some info off the website.

The kit only adds .6 of an ounce and when you bolt the slider in place the flex is very minimal. The stock TC chassis with the slider kit installed is still far more rigid than any of the "aftermarket conversion kits" that we have looked at.

The website is www.leadingedgerccars.com

The car was being done by BMI and tony from prs... The car was soon scrapped after that.. it never reach production and will never be done... The car design did not work as well as was first thought.. so to answer your question No it will not be produced.... Unless you can get the proto ... you wont be able to get one..

the lat post before the thread was brught back up was may 2004.. thats about when it was scrapped//

Are you guys truing your tires after every run??? The thing about touring oval and running different spring rates and tire compounds is that you're going to have drastically different tire wear... AWD cars don't like 4 different sized tires....
