How do you know its that good? Have you seen and or tested it and compared versus other kits? If so, can you provide some report as to your findings? thx....

And now there is the OD12 car by odpurple. It is an outdoor specific car like the Yokomo. And has become dominate in our local asphalt racing lately.
OD is one of the 'Three Wise Men' of 1/12th scale racing. His design work and fabrication are absolutely top notch.
Believe he will be developing an indoor version. He should reserve "ID12" for that...

Looks very nice MJ. How much was it and why do you belive its better than Associated L4 or Rev 4.5. etc, on asphalt? Have you driven other kits before this one and can you tell me a bit of the differences and improvements with your BMI ride? thx...

OD, The car was great today and worked very well. How soon for the new chassis to come out? I want to get a spare just in case.
