Ahh I see - mind you - you could say that about the 6R4 shell too. To fit one on a buggy was always a little bit of a compromise when it came to suspension travel and stopping the wheels clouting the bodyshell.

But then that was half the fun - gobs of power, and the ability to door handle with someone without locking wheels!

As DCM said about the bodies. The Carson Audi S1 shell is here http://www.modelsport.co.uk/?CallFun...n&ItemID=24250
if you have a touring car for it to go on.


Ah, yes. The old problem of mounting the shell high enough to clear the wheels while not looking like it's on stilts. Way back in the 80s I remember running at Bury Metro and taking a mate who only raced indoors. His Losi had a Cosworth body on it, it stood out amongst the buggies and you could tell when he was running as you could hear the spikes rattling on the wheel arches as the suspension compressed over all the bumps

That looks the tits!!

I remember using lots of spacers inside the shocks to drop the chassis but still keep some movement - always used to run suspension stiff though. Wasn't so much a case of "does it work?", more like "does it look right?"
