|  Dabbling with the dark side Built me a fast one  Apologies if this is in any way distasteful, but some things you gotta try at least once. The UK guys at TC have a 'monster bash' once or twice a year, and everything I got up until now has been too slow to be competitive. I'll fit some motors and leccies soon, just waiting on motor mounts from a certain store :-P All that's left after that is a couple of cross braces and a shell     Pictures from this years spares-fest       |

| I used to race Clods. You can make them haul A with proper setup Twinset has the tires nailed. Pullers are the lightest Clod tire made, besides Bajas. Nice job on the chassis. |

| Yep, run the pullers with no foam and that's the lightest setup available with a Clod size rim. I used to cut the inner bead off the rim and re-glue inside. |

| The shell is a Parma Mustang, hacked up a bit. Not sure a Kamtec Charger would fit, unless he's doing bigger ones - the ones he made from my shell were to fit 1/10 tourer chassis The HPI Charger is pretty nice and well detailed though (apart from the naff blower)  |

| I thought that the HPI Charger would be far too big, but I guess that it isn't. Woohoo! |

| It did look a bit long on the Rage chassis, but that only had a 13 1/2" wheelbase, the chassis the Mustang is on is just over 15" |
