That looks pretty slick. I take it this will be dominating the touring oval class at Snowbirds next year?

It looks great but bad things happen when weight is put outside of the tires.

This chassis was designed for max left side weight. If you were to install the 200mm conversion the LR tire would be even with the battery.

If you look close the battery slots have holes drilled. These are for the IRS Battery Locator plates. The plates allow you to move the pack left and right.

More left side weight equals more corner speed. This chassis with the 3mm upper deck is awsome on flat and banked carpet tracks.

The production version will have a standard 190mm conversion with the motor, receiver, speedcontrol, and servo still on the left.

The left side of the chassis will be shortened to fit the 190mm bodies.

That's very interesting. Is this class taking off anywhere other than at the birds? Just seems like the added weight of 4 wheeldrive would negate anything you gain with it. Or are you running it with only 2wd?

When Sandhills opens again next season we will start a Touring Oval Class. This car is based on a TC3 and uses the complete 4wd drivetrain.

How do the speeds compare to the pan cars?
