I'm looking to run atleast one of the cars, local club meetings and maybe a few welsh regionals, seams a shame not too really! All those modern cab forward 4wd cars are so samey looking. So my next questions too you all are (a) motor size? i seem to remember reading a thread somewhere stating the car will handle a 10.5 brushless? and (b) are there any upgrades i need to or can make to the car while i've got it in bits - drive train, shock towers etc?
cheers Tim

Welsh regionals, ok now im interested. Still a bit sore about losing the title by one point in the 90's. It can handle a 10.5 but wouldnt recomend any higher unless you use my gearbox design.
Your cars should be fine, personally id use the first car in the pictures, but put the teamline hubs on and rear wing mount from the other car. Slipper should be good.
Dont use WD40 as its the worst thing youll ever use, get GT85 as that will be good to have for cleaning out the bearing of the oneway without getting it worse as the teflon retracts dirt whereas WD40 attracts it (named that way due to 39 attempts to get it pressurised so they could maintain our spitfires in ww2) any help just pm me, more than happy to help someone from my racing grounds.
Shock towers id go for fibrelyte and replace the front one with the semicircular top as that aides you if you roll plus its really strong. Also get the zx straight steering plate as its better and you can get rid of the bump steer. How far do you want to go as the list keeps going. Tub chassis will be available around october (maybe earlier) as well.
