Hey Guys,

Cars #1 and #2 are nearly the same car - the only difference is the motor and battery position - Car #2 has the Motor moved back. We had 2 different chassis as the WC for the Stallion - batteries forward and batteries back - This was again to try and test/develope the Stallion before it came out. Adachi/Ito used the chassis with the batteries forward and Mark/Tony used the chassis with the batteries back. Both had their advantages depending on the track conditions. I asked Kyosho if they wanted me to run the Stallion at the event or to run my design - they opted for me to use my design. I was just suprised they allowed people to take pictures.... This car is purely a development car (as far as I know). It's a compilation of new geometry and construction techniques that aren't commonly used. The style is to try and bring something new to the table to increase performance, increase durability and reduce cost. As far as the castor block design.... .... It turned out good!!!
