Really like the looks of the new car. You still ship across the pond, right?

Hi Jonathan,

After reading all I find about this kit, I'd like to buy one ¿Would you send it to Spain?

I'm so interested so that it won't be any problem travelling to UK to get it...but I'd preffer the cheaper way (more unpersonal I know)

In other point, one trivial thing -but important- is how you achieve all that efficiency on the track while remaining or increasing beauty from the original donor kit. Nor that ugly designs forgetting that.

If anyone does try a different setup to what ive been running (i think thats the setup thats being used by everyone?) then can you post them on here. The moew information we have the sooner the car will get better. At present i havnt tried anything too dis-similar. But over the coming weeks ill get the setup posted.

Cheers

Danny

@ Justme - no problem shipping to the USA.

@ Joelwhite - i need to put some miles on the RHD gearbox which is suitable for standard speedo's so at the moment i would guess towards the end of August.

@ bbq - We have not run the car on dirt or clay, so a unknown sorry.

@ caciqueconnection - No problem shipping to Spain

The website has now been updated and there is now a blank editable setup sheet online kindly created by Arno at Petit RC.

An order from the sunny Spain will be placed soon then.

Now I have to think where to place a "parental advisory explicit carbon" sticker

Well, from the testing we have done the car stays much flatter under acceleration (the rear) due to this is does not power understeer as the CR has been know to on various track. It also feels a lot easiler to drive consistantly when your near the edge so to speak (not that im there very often)

It also jumps more consistantly from the little time ive had on bigger jumps.

Think thats about it, although ive probably missed something

See post 129 aboud rhd avalibilty. There is enogh room behind the servo for speedo and rx. Dont know about a price difference really shouldnt be probably just a tanny case with the hole on the other side.

The RHD will cost a bit more due to the extra parts needed, ie layshaft spaces, motor plate spacer and longer screws etc. I would guess at the moment around £20-£25

Time wise i don't have a date yet as i want to get a decent amount of testing on the rhd gearbox to ensure its reliable.

Is the chassis wide enough to accept a stick pack, across it's girth?

And sticks are cheaper, easier to find and you have tons of models/specs to choose.

Because weight distribution and the possibility to use it in both 2WD and 4WD...in other case sticks are the point nowadays.
