I have a CRC Pantoura. I haven't run it yet, waiting on tires. It is a 1/12th suspension with a longer chassis that runs 1/10th foams and sedan bodies.

I race the Speedmerchant Speed Spec car that is similar to your Pantoura. I was second at the January Jam at Madness Raceway, Enfield, CT in 2002 and 1st in the Region 1 ROAR championships at Big Boys Toys, Taunton, MA in Mar 2002. This car is 4 cell and we ran 19 turn motors. The Protoform BMW 200mm wide body is perfect for the chassis. Cost control is in mind as the chassis is .110 thick fiberglass, not graphite. The car is very durable and the 19turn will be as fast as a 11 turn modified in a 6 cell touring car. This is one of the best kept secrets in RC racing.
