Its pretty sweet. Jason is really big on asthetics. Anyone can design a rear pod. The trick is making it function AND look like a piece of art. He spends a lot of time making small changes to angles and curves on the chassis and alloy parts to make the complete car flow together visually.
Its torture for those of us that cant afford one right now LOL

).For racing on carpet I carefully round all the lower edges of the chassis and rear pod plates then I CA all the edges This keeps the chassis from snagging the carpet or splintering if you hit a corner dot or board.
For racing on asphalt I knock off the sharp edges but there is no need to seal the chassis as it serves no purpose.

man,what a day of racing.i got my car really good but was having some issues with my spektrum all day.it kept shutting off for 2 seconds and then coming back on i did wind up finishing 5th.we had alot of real fast guys runn ing 1/12th today.2 full heats of stock and 1 full heat of 19 turn. Paul Wynn was absolutely unreal with his DB12R winning the main by a longshot with alot of other fast guys.the car got alot of attention after people saw it run.we kept getting comments about how much corner speed it carries and how smoothe it looks on the track.the only change we did to pauls car over the box setup was we went to .018 front springs when the bite came up.all in all it was an excelent showing with 4 DB12R's making the top 10
