I would be seriously tempted if it was Lipo compatible!!!

Why does it have so little kick-up ?:confused:

Probably because of 501X genes

I was asking because front bulkheads look home-made...:eh?:

I think the whole car is homemade. It's 501x parts in a B4 chassis.
I'm sure it drives just as good as it looks. I'm waiting on a full TRF 2wd buggy.
This may end up being the actual prototype of it who knows.
Whatever it is, it looks awesome!

If the front bulkheads are home-made, they could have put more kick-up in there, true.
What would be better though is some kickup inthe chassis also: so the nose won't dig in on landing from slightly off big jumps.

For those less fortunate on cnc acces: check out the US dirt oval car/conversion producers: they offer similar front bulkheads ready for use

Kick up is 22 degrees. I think current 2wd cars have too much kick up. With a little more weight on the front axle less kick up, was the teory for this front end.

I overspent the budget for the car above so I was not prepared to to do any more work on it until I know if that layout works for a 2wd. Instead I made a Tamiya DB-01 2wd test car with a layout that have some similiarities. Soon to be track tested... It is too heavy, too much weight at the front, but L/R weight distribution is very good. Anyway it will be nice to see how it feels at the track.
