Nice.
Bet it doesn't weigh very much, either.

Looks like a runner to me!

I think it looks great but like Mike says it is light so add a wheelie bar to help if you going to race. Funky you want to add a cage to everything. JUST MY OPINON

Well, actually... I'd guess the chassis is about 18 pounds fueled, and the body probably weighs eight to ten pounds by itself. Probably won't pick up the front wheels.

It's really hard to get any of the Q-scale cars to do that using our small centrifugal clutches, they simply don't lock up hard enough, and of they did, you'd likely strip a belt FIRST.

Can't wait to see how you finish this one off!!!
