[sports 850] its all standard mini suspension but I am using the coil spring and hi lo from the uk watsons kit. [JC ]you asked if wheels hit motor / gearbox, no thats why i built my own frame as it was the only way to get the drive shaft angles etc right.For a race car you can do what you like but for victorian reg I had to go this way.mini regards peter hope this helps.

That explains it , I was wondering why you didn't put the hole in the top of the subframe towers to put the rubber cone compresser bolt through . How far off getting registered is it , it's looking very neat .

vDid you cut up the Watson's frame you had or start from scratch? When I saw the front of your frame I thought "that looks alot like one of the US kits" because of the nice folds in the metal and what not.

You should put a combination of either:
1. English Flag (red cross, white background) that morph's into the Japanese Rising Sun.

or

2. A Union Jack that does the same.

I might have a play in Photoshop and see what I come up with.
