who says cut out rear wheelarcs is not nice.
the yankee schassis has a wheelbase off 680 mm,my schassis has a wheelbase off 700mm.
than the wheel fits okay in the wheelarc.
when you look at the picture off my jag and place the rear wheel 20 mm forward,it does not fit in the arc.
also you should use the front wheels of the yankee f1,this fills the arc better
grt frank

body mounts ready ,did change wheelbase again.
is now 710 instead yankees measerments 680mm
waiting for the carbon,whil replace top schassis parts.
carbon is easy to mill,but exspensive to buy
did ask for a complete schassis in 5 mm carbon.
two top plates and one bottomplate.
950 euro,nice price

thanks for your help frank!

I cant wait to see this car with some carbon on it. The contrast will be nice. i also think the longer wheelbase is a good choice.

you honestly build the most amazing cars. This car is how i would imagine quarterscale if it was built today by a large rc car manufacturer like HPI or Trinity. You have an amazing vision. Thanks frank. :D
