But I'm just trying to help...seriously as said in an earlier posts these conversions and how far u went with machining ur own chasis is awesome...I'm sure the building and thought was half the fun!!!! I aplogize to focus on the only negative I found we are racers helping wach other out..I never intended to diminish the talent u have...excellent job I'd like to see that in person! Great job!!

I'd use one o those silicone stinger extentions instead I'm just thinking that with that long of a wire it would bend easier and also more close to and tap of boards or people running into you...

I tought the same thing about the pipe. Its very likely to get hit from time to time... I use the silicon stinger and also a good idea to cut the body so that it helps prevent the smoke from going to the rear tire. During the Byron's race I got hit and my stinger came off but the way I cut the hole for the stinger helped prevent smoke from getting on the rear tire for the rest of the race.
It is great to see so many cool GT conversions!

I don' trust those silicon stingers. I think they rob power. I was also concerned about oil on my rear left tire, and tried the stinger. But I didn't like the sound. Maybe it's only sound and the performance difference is only perceived.. But I just don't like those things..

Remember my original bumper at FBF - THAT idea didn't work out so good
No matter how long I've been doing this, there is always something else to learn. And building iy WAS half the fun....You missed a good race at Chaplin last Sunday.

I don't use the stinger extensions, they do affect power output. I've also seen cars get hit too many times and tuck the extension inside the body which oils down the tire almost instantly. I cut a 30mm hole in the side of the body inline with the exhaust. I also make up a deflector from scrap lexan and attach it to the inside of the body with rivets. It's a simple L shape with tabs for the rivets. I make it wide enough so that the inner edge is approx. 10mm from the side of the pipe. This gets almost all of the exhaust out of the body and any that doesn't can't reach the rear tire.
