Build story

I had the car since new and the a project started as a joke between a buddy of mine and myself. However that joke has turned into something very serious, it took two iterations to reach this stage (still not perfect but I won't redo it) and it's meant to run in any conditions and behave like a regular car and not a track only vehicle. Runs silent off-boost, but give it the beans and it will put a smile on your face due to the generous power/weight ratio.\r
\r
It's not competitive at the track due to the lack of traction (and let's face it, low power), so mostly I just enjoy it as a daily with an occasional car meet/race to show it off.
