It sure sounds interesting! A lot would depend on my financial ability I'm sure. When I mounted and trued the tires-well let's just say they are a "little" bit hinkie! On another note I was looking at making a new chassis for the Evolva out of 3/16 G-10. I was looking at having space on the main chassis outboard for more A123 cells. I know the minimum weight for this class is 5.5 lbs. Do most of the gas cars come in at the minimum? How about your electric? My Evolva currently comes in at 5.5 lbs, adding 20oz. worth of cells would significantly increase the weight. How heavy can I go and have a good running car and not a tank? I finally ran it this summer-oh howdy it is quick. I also went to 32 pitch gears-smoother. Don
