WOW this is an awesome post

thanks a lot!
2794 - normally if everything goes fine I have a couple coming from the US in a few days... probably one of the toughest parts to find

Worst case I have a plastic one but your story is very interesting.
Plastics - I have already nicknamed my car "the black widow"... white plastics are for my other shelfer

Black plastics rule, additionnally a lot of the parts are still available in that colour, so all black my car is.
Yokes - got it... will get steel ones, end of story. As I'm also racing 2WD I can't afford to have one car breaking down otherwise I screw both classes up

Thanks for the advice :
25deg castor blocks - were the default option given our tracks' layouts as you probably noticed haha - good to know I made the right choice though!
I'll try to snap a couple of pics of the build as I go... right now it's very very early, but hopefully this will gather some interest as we go
Setups would now be very very welcome
thanks a lot guys...
