Frank, first off thanks for being active and helping/informing. Can't wait to get my hands on this beast. Couple questions...will my 22 2.0 aluminum rear hubs work on the 3.0? And will my jconcepts Ti front axles work on the 3.0? Also will setup sheets be released same time as kit or soon after? Thanks much

i got a chance to see this car in action last night at coyote hobbies raceway in victorville. all i can say is that the car impressed me. was going to buy a b5m lite tomorrow for redy race prep and i decided to hold off to buy this instead, much higher quality of parts and a far better design from an engineering stand point. ive been in the hobby for 4 years now and always ran AE, but this car has changed that

I love all the obviously well thought out engineering. For a non-elite club racer like me, I'm more impressed with attention to things like designing for maintenance, durability, simplicity, interchangeability of components... Really appeals to my mechanical engineering side. The rear roll-center adjustement is a brilliant example.
I'm curious to understand why a shorter front arm would be better in someconditions... The rest of the geometry beign the same, you would intuitively think that a wider front track would always be more stable, no? Why not always design to max ROAR width front and rear?

Do the wheels match the IFMAR 2016 offset spec?

Thanks Frank, unfortunately I only get to go on the weekends. And quite frankly, JC Johnson can make a box stock slash with outdoor tires look good. He's a beast with every car I have seen him drive. He's a quality guy to have on your team. Excited to see him run the 3.0.

Yes, they will fit, but we will not have 10mm wheels forever, a limited supply then you'll need to switch to 12mm. We already have 12mm aluminum front axles on their way with the cars.
Probably before it ships, that's the goal.
Not sure that rule is going to go through. It would make several manufacturers design new front suspensions for the wheel off-set. None of the manufacturers are happy about it, and this may not come to fruition.

We focused on performance and durability. Aluminum hexes add a lot of cost and NO performance or durability gain. If anything, the molded hexes are lighter than clamping hexes and reduce rotating mass which will increase performance.
I also added a bit to the first post, so be sure to check that out!
