Default The VeloC2

Its here.

I hope to release this soon, if the reception is good.

Heres the spec of the prototype:
- Twin Deck, 3mm delrin, slim chassis.
- Laydown front shock absorbers
- Delrin front turnbuckle mount, Rear shock tower, shock-rockers.
- Uses B4 and GT2 parts.
- 3 x 3 saddle pack cells
- Cool carbon battery mount

For the release version, I plan:
- Carbon moulded chassis- Hybrid mix to product stronger and lighter chassis, secret formula.
- Carbon parts
- More blue bits

sorry for the darkness, I will take some more after and during its first test-run

It looks very long, what is the wheelbase compare to other cars in the same class, it might just be an optical illusion

Hope it works for you mate, but i think you should reduce the toe out up front .

haha, yeah the toe-out is due to me waiting for GT2 steering parts haha.

Wheel base wise, it is longer, in fact about 5cm longer, but still well under the BRCA length limit
