This 190mm car is NOTHING like the current 103/104 platform (IRS,Shocks,not direct drive ect....) but the rules quickly are getting "bent" for this new car that went very far from the current solid axle setup

103/109 guys still get hung out to dry....
I don't get it.

A 103 front end is about $20 in parts... The wide kit (not that I have ANYTHING against it,so don't hate) is what $50.00?

What is the plan for when the Serpent car comes out?
That ride looks to be 200mm to me.
Said it before.
Set it to 200mm and lock it.
If you really want to get technical...give the wide cars a weight penalty or something.
I agree,Whoever came up with the 190mm rule really needs to re think that.
