As mentioned elsewhere I picked up a Spirit 205 T16 body up at Ossett swapmeet a few weeks ago, and after much consideration I eventually decided to go for the MSC chassis, at a little over £11 I thought it would be a good buy.
I hadn't planned on using a drop arm but without the shortest drop arm the chassis wouldn't fit under the body, and even then it is only marginal
This picture shows how close to the front the guide is, you can also see the plastic added to which I screw the body too
Another view showing how near to the front of the car the guide is
It can't be viewed from above though
I even had to trim the rear of the chassis for it to fit
The completed car
It's just had a few laps and feels OK, although the motor doesn't seem as punchy as it did when I ran it in the Fly. Probably need to do some experimenting with different tyre combos as the back is a bit slippy
