The roll bars and the green (16 lb) springs that are recommended by Martin Hofer come in the kit. Great build, car looks awesome.

I'm got the same question just wondering about both blinky and boosted, the local on-road track size is 87’x40’ with tongue and groove subfloor (just 7 feet shorter than the snowbirds nationals).

Every car is the same. Whatever spur and pinion fits and gets you a final drive around 3.7 with a trinity/revtech motor. You may need to go up a tooth from there.

With 48p gears you would need a spur around 66t for 17.5 Blinky.

question for you builders... are you wet-sanding the arms/wishbones? Or just the chassis? or all the carbon?

No CA. I read somewhere that it won't let it flex like it should.
