Thanks

Oh and chassis looks like it could be GRP, not FRP.

I have the 3racing TC chassis and it looks like its made of the same material. Its basically heavy duty fiberglass.

Begin bag #5. Not much smal steps. Assembled 4 more turnbuckles this morning.

Front swaybar installed. One complaint I’ve got with the kit. Would make things easier if they had included a turnbuckle wrench. The ones used are smaller then every turnbuckle wrench I have.

3mm I believe. If I was more detailed oriented, and measured them out first, would have saved time. But I’m not, so it be process of installing them, looking, remove, repeat.

In previous builds. The assembly guide diagrams for turnbuckle were “actual size”. I’d just use that as a measurement. Not so with this one. Going to look around my house, think one of my small scales had to have a wrench that would work.

I’m hopeful to get mine on carpet during January. At least for practice, as far as I know it’s not legal for the F1 class.

If it's 190mm wide or less and 270mm or less wheelbase then it's still legal for the UF1 class.
