The major problem I can see is that very high speed + hard plastic edging = lots of broken wishbones.

When we did the 24hr the cars only had a 20t saturn, protective shell and a bumper, but we still smashed hubs and carriers ect. Now imagine that with high speed motors, exposed wheels and no bumpers .

I know we had the petit rc race there with a similar layout but the speeds were lowered by the obsticals.

Sc trucks might be ok but the problem I had running on high grip was grip roll. Even if you slam it to the deck the weight of the shell alone is probably enough to tip it. I'd like to try it on kit tyres where there might be some give but on foams I recon it would be a nightmare.

I love the out of the box thinking tho
