Speartooth 22

[PaulUpton]

Yep 5mm

The space is taken from the front of the car so you can run it in the rear or mid configuration.

The 5mm has been taken out of the front of the car, between the servo and the lipo. By moving the lipos to a cross chassis location it moves the weight rearwards, which will help with rear traction but also take weight, and therefore grip, away from the front. Taking the 5mm out of the front should help keep some weight over the front axle, so you get more rear traction but without losing front end bite.

That's the theory anyway, seems to be working so far - just need to see how it goes tomorrow at the National...

[racer x 1]

can you post any test results you get from running it on high bite clay? when you get a chance at least.

[university_dave]

I'm afraid we've not tested the car on a dirt track yet - not sure where in the UK we'd find something with high grip dirt!!!

I believe Dave Church ran the car rear motored at Oswestry on Saturday, hopefully he can post some feedback on how it went.

We have pretty much confirmed the release date as the 29th July. We've updated the details on our website to have the full production specification - http://www.akularacing.co.uk/portfolio/speartooth-22/

The retail price is now confirmed as £155, but we are now able to include an undertray in with the kit that will allow the kit shell to be used. The FTW Blade and Vane shell will still fit the chassis with no problems.

The conversion will be available directly from ourselves and also from our retail partners Telstar Racing, M K Racing and Apex Models. You can pre-order from ourselves by e-mailing [email protected] or by contacting any of the above shops.
