Overall dimensions of the car

[Guest]

Hey fellas,

Quick question.

I am assuming you place a clear box over the car to check for allowable dimensions.

Does it work that as long as the car can be stuffed into the box it is OK?

Can it touch the sides of the box?

Do you push the wheels in if it makes a difference with canted rears and wheels gap?

Not sure if this makes a difference, but:

Is there a guide rail inside the box?

Thanks in advance,

I think all they really check is length. Don't make it more than 7" or more than 2.75" wide

Cool!

Thanks Rocket.

I love the casualness of it.

I am pushing the limits of the width.

Good luck Nov. 1st!

That super light car you made has inspired me.

The wider the car the more air you have to push through.

How light you going?

1 or 2 grams lighter. I'm at 9g without fenders. My fenders are usually 1-2g.

This time I'll drill it better. I did a bad job on "gett'in naked" and it cost me a lot of speed. I have ancient tools (25 year old crapsman) so it's a total crap shoot. Can't afford the $800 praxxon.
