Default Project Street SupremaZy

So begins my 2nd project- make a street body MA-10 with something new to try my luck in this class and in hfay.

Started off with my body of choice -







Put a solid band of Invisible Shield all-around. Added 2 styrene pipes to reinforce the bumpers. Nice and even total weight

Next came the chassis with fresh batch of parts:






Stock with alum rims, 1 degree camber 3Racing knuckles, Ver3 3Racing ball diffs, PN Pro III spring double-stacks(softer up front, stiffer in the rear), 30s front, 20s rear.

My curioucity aroused when I noticed that PN springs were half as tall as the stock ones and it got me thinking as to what should I do... naturally I tried stacking them and this worked out perfectly. I have high hopes for this 2-step suspension since it could probably double as a damper and help alot in the corners.

Now the Version1 of this 202 gram beast:






Watch out 175-180 gram MR02s, my plow is out to get you now!

You have a reflex racing decal on the window. Do you race with them.

No, but my latest parts order was from them and they included their stickers. I'll advertize them until this setup fails, if it will do so, because their in-stock 3Racing parts bailed me big time given my current budget as well as a friend of mine.

Sweet, the body is outstanding. After you hit the track, tell me how the double suspension thing helps.

I say go softer on bottom, and stiffer on top.
