Thank you for your comment, alcyon. Good to know about your experiences with carbon chassis. We don't have any big jumps so I hope my chassis will hold.

Looking forward to your SWB build. Your LWB build (your blog) has been a great inspirational source. For example I also ordered one of those A&L (Alec & Lane) steering mechanism with ball bearings for this project. I will also add a B4 slipper because I think it's really needed on a high bite track.

Here is an overview (fisheye-lens) of our local astroturf track that where my Optima Mid will be running:
