Thinking a bit more about this last night and decided that I should concentrate on the unique part of the concept (ie. the rear wheel/suspension/transmission assembly) first. So I've decided I'll make a development model first using the entire front end from the Procat and then making a simple chassis which enables the unique rear assembly to be played about with and also give me freedom of packaging the batteries and radio gear to find the best weight distribution.
This model will be the 'proof of concept' before putting more time and effort into a proper version utilising some fancy chassis and body ideas I have, together with a much uprated front end.
Will try and post some sketches up in a few days and will update with (slow) progress.
