Well as Phil said our cars arrived a few days ago, I got mine back from him last night. First thing I did was take it for a drive to see if it really was a bad as the results have suggested, and OH MY GOD, what a dog!!
Anyway, we took the body off it and took it for a run without it, it is actually a brilliant car, very fast and handles brilliantly, so my cars problem is all in the body.
It is too heavy and the rear wheels bind in the rear guards when the chassis moves causing the whole car to tip badly.
First thing we are going to do is to make the rear wheelarches a bit larger then see if we can grind a whole lotta weight out of the body, hopefully this will make it a much better machine to drive. We have investigated changing the body for something else, but there is nothing we have that has a wheelbase long enough to fit the chassis!
Dad's car is the complete oppisite of mine, what a fantastic car, very fast and easy to drive. I can't understand why it didn't get better results than it has!
I enjoyed driving this car more than anything else there last night, I didn't wanna put it back into its box!!
Erlings car was also nice to drive, lacked the outright pace of a couple of the others, but it was very easy to drive on the limit!!
Anyway, I hope that my car improves and we see alot of very close racing here in the tassie rounds.
