Adrian is your new pan car going to be wide or narrow? Did you ever see my Bolink protype car with the batteries down the center and no tee-bar( an big U). I won the B main at the Minregg nationals with that car and the three B mains(at the state series) following that national.If your going to make chassis maybe I can give you this one any you can make me a copy and if they are going to be a Narrow version you could make it narrow.
The last car I drove was one of those Corally 1/10th which I converted to a tri-shock rear-end.
Adrian please send me a e-mail or phone number as I'm interested in this new-old pan cars making a come back.
