I don't know about you, but I seriously doubt that the cab forward shell would make much difference to the handling of the Caster SK10. It's front shock tower is so big that any aero benefit that may be derived from the shell would be negligible.

In fact I'm pretty sure that very few buggies actually, really, benefit from the cab forward design, apart from the extra room they provide up front! Aerodynamically? Hmmm. Perhaps, a little.

No, this is really just an excercise in making a prettier cab forward shell..
