Yes, the body is narrowed on the dominant side. It doesn’t create any steer as it’s drilled straight. A bent axle is used for steer.

I wasn't there, but I heard it said that some cars seemed to be going a lot faster than they should have if they were actually within the rules.

Thanks. Still a ways to go to get race ready

More photos of my latest car builds. Hope to get these done and out to some races.

That's a pretty neat little tool, if I wasn't always broke (cash poor artist ) I'd likely give it a try. Maybe someday as I'll be doing more paint related videos

Thanks, I think it looks pretty good for spray cans.

Check out this crazy weight placement on Green Mamba. Based on the numbers I get on my scale (I only have one, sadly) and plugging them into the app, the placement (odd as it looks) seems to put everything where it should be by my understanding of how this stuff works ( am I wrong?). P.S. the...

I just thought the wax would be an easier option for moving weight around during testing, less grip than carpet tape and nearly forever reusable

Also on the subject of wieghts .. I can get 12 tungsten cubes (2.030 oz) behind the Axle easy, but I could also get another 0.510 more adding a tungsten plate on top of them and even a good bit more stuffing the rear gap with tungsten putty (and still clear the track). So the question is .. how...
