You might want to consider a 4 link, the torque needed for formula offroad will twist those leafs. But looks great. Nice chassis they would make a great scaler. |

That is a great idea for the rear steering lockout. I would love to see one of our fine vendors make something like this out of aluminum.

I even did a 1 mm steel fender to see if it could be done with just a hammer I will try and make a steel template for the grill next. It will be like a 5 mm (ca 1/4") thick steel grill that I can use again and again to shape the alu grill :-P | |

I am still wondering why in the heck there arent 1:1 guys doing formula off road here in the states.... Or am I just missing it? THe other day I spent half the day just watching you-tube vids on the subject... and trying to figure out how I can convince my significant other that we need to make a trip oversees to watch a4x4 event.... |
