Default Speartooth 22

Just got the final parts for our TLR22 chassis conversion though this morning so I thought I'd put some photos up here to see what people think.

We've put the saddles across the chassis to help the weight distribution, but by changing the two side plates you can also fit a 'stubby' lipo pack across the chassis as well (we've not got one of those, so no photo I'm afraid). The chassis is 5mm shorter than the standard and can still be run in rear motor configuration as we've included the required mounting holes on the chassis.

We've checked bodyshell fitment and the FTW Vane will definitely fit this chassis and we're going to reprofile the side plates which should allow the FTW Blade to fit as well. We are also looking at getting some lexan side pods made up to allow the kit shell to fit as well.

There are some details on exactly what the kit includes, higher res photos and the expected price at; http://www.akularacing.co.uk/portfolio/speartooth-22/

It will be running for the first time at the Silverstone club night at Moto Arena on Tuesday, and I'll have it with me there on Sunday for the Schumacher Summer Series TC meeting, so if you want to have a look and a chat about it then come and find me. Paul Upton will be doing the main development work over the next few weeks.
