The second is the left side rear axle looks a bit more exposed than the Tamiya and may be prone to bending or breaking.
Yes, 190mm is actually the MOST ppl will use if that is the RULE allowed. But in order to use 180mm, I think most ppl will end up using F104 front end for it. Our chassis is interchangeable for F103 F104 parts on the front end. But..if the rule is not saying 180mm or nothing, why would you want to use narrow front end and prepare for lots of traction rolling...

I think it will survive..........
