wow, belt drive. interesting

[Cain]

Seen that before. Usually a cover of some sort done too, but, its track dependent as well.

I think I find the small bore shocks description more interesting.

Nice! The body is ugly, but the chassis design is cool.

Save for the body (which is FUGLY to the core!!!) this is a very nicely done up car! I question the smallish bodied shocks....they look cartoonish with the super oversized springs and retainers, but I like the layout of everything else. Asthetically, it would be nice to see some color other than BLACK on everything. The red bearing seals are a nice contrast....I'm just nit picking. Nice car...wish there was a track to try one out....alas, there is nothing around me and Schumacher parts are not supported around me either.

Dear Santa.... could you get the marketing folks at all the car and race body manufacturers a new brain? It seems they have fallen off the deep end and are all making Butt Forwards Bob racecar bodies.
