Lance made the plug for that body himself. Its lower and much more sleek then the Raco body. He actually made two of them because the real racers changed body styles mid way. I dont know if you remember, but todd was selling a B&L body on ebay. Its the only other body out there and its the first style.

As the chassis goes, it was all custom made. Both the B&L and the Raco indy were in prototype stages at the same time. Nobody shared the parts. The first Raco Indy prototype was nothing like the Indy car we know of now.

Nope. Never had access to the raco one, and lance says its too much of a pain to pull the body off his... plus i dont think he wants to scratch it :)

Point of having it, is that its an amazing piece!!!

Its in a glass case and to remove the body requires a lot of bolts. Its not a matter of him trying to keep something secret.

It is a carbon bottom main frame with a belt drive. Also the goodyear tires are the only air filled ones they made.

Yea, the rear section is to simulate a gearbox. but its just belt driven. Very clever.
