thats pretty swank looking... shame f1 is slow... id love to see how somthing like that did with some actual horsepower.
neat idea for the front swaybar.

What? Did they have left over spur gears from their nitro cars? Almost looks like 32 pitch and with an odd ball spur gear setup, it doesn't look like it would be simple or cheap to switch to a different pitch gears. Other than that, it is very sweet looking. Like Nick says, it is too bad the class is so slow- one of the fastest classes in real racing and one of the slowest in RC racing(only a step above Mini's). My $.05(since we don't use pennies anymore) worth.
