I want to ask you i have the DB12RR and on asphalt tracks is very good,is the Copperhead 12 the same characteristics or is oriented to carpet tracks?
I ask you because in Greece we have only asphalt tracks.

The car still works extremely well on asphalt. We have tested on traction levels that were extreem all the way to an unprepped asphalt track and the car worked excellent on all surfaces. It is very tunable.

Lookin through the pics on facebook I just noticed the holes in the top of the cross brace for tightening the side pivot balls...very nice attention to detail.

Jason, the new car looks really good. I left the fold for another brand due to the issues that you directly addressed with the copperhead. I like the way you do things and I can't wait to see the new front end.

Speaking of the new front end, I understand you wanting to keep the price point at $250, but I'd be willing to pay more to get a kit with the new front end instead of the current front.
