The price reflects the limited production run. Although I agree - it is extreme.
The defacto rulesets applied generally in
North America follow the ROAR specified (
8.7.3.5 Rear suspension and drive: Single, one-piece drive axle only) for 1/12th scale racing.
This would eliminate this chassis from
legal competion in any sanctioned or national event.
For
IFMAR however, you appear to be correct - according to:
SECTION THREE- TECHNICAL RULES 1/12 3 TECHNICAL RULES 1/12 3.0.0. For 1/12th it is allowed to present two chassis to preliminary technical inspection. Either of these may be used during the event. The second one has to be identical to the first and can be approved anytime during that event.
So technically as long as someone presented 2 chassis at an IFMAR sanctioned event, and they passed "technical inspection" - they could legally compete in 12th scale
as it appears IFMAR makes no specific distinction against having more than one driven axle on a pan car?
