thanks matt im glad you like it ,its took a long time to get it this far but i did have to rebuild a certain cossy KA in between .
But i do intend to get it to a few shows this year
the best way to get good at any thing is just jump in and give it a go the more you do the better you will become , i have been playing on this car for 23-24 yrs now

It looks a bit too far back to me as it is because the weight of the tank will change when in use. The best place to put it is directly in the middle of the wheelbase so that the weight distribution remains the same whether the tank is empty or full.
I agree that it could do with being a bit lower though.
