Thanks for the encouragement guys.
Wheelbase is the same as the the (non-vintage) Shumacher Cougar with the swept arms. I've put on the straight Andy's front arms last week after hearing the losi 2.2 has a longer wheelbase.
Will see how it does; hopefully we'll get nice weather so I can race it outdoors in another week.
I wouldn't mind doing a similar car non-vintage but vintage parts are what I have in my drawers to work with. And I do think the somewhat wider separted mounts for the arms inner hinges help making the car easy to run. As opposed to the narrow bulkheads of modern cars which make the cars more nimble.
Got a plan for a "4th gear" in mind... just collecting the material still.
