| I still don't have a body for it, I'm not a big fan of the The buggy body that comes with the car , I'll preffer something like the HPI Baja, Contrast people told me that it's not possible to use it , but I've allready bought one to see what I can do . This is a Contrats original body I painted for a friend that owns the same car, it's a quick job, not my best.   |

| Looks cool, I like the front disk brakes! I see some kind of springs on the hinge pins, what are they for? Anymore info? EDIT Looked closer! Last edited by 666; 06-11-2008 at 07:24 AM. |

| The springs in the hinge pins should avoid, major injuries in the front axle when you hit a rock or corner protection in the track. That idea comes from their onroad car and it seems to work pretty good, the spring is hard and do not affect in normal driving conditions but work as impact absorber in case of crash. You have more info about the company and carrs in www.contrast-racing.com. |

| The engine is a Zenoah 230, the car comes with the 260, but in my opinion is too much power for a 2WD, Most of the people is not able to go straight in the slippery tracks we have here, so I asked them to put a 230, I agree that a Gear Cover is a must, this is probably the first custom part I'll make. |
