I have a set of the GRP's coming. I know they are good for higher speeds and have been tested.

Bondo- are you going to use the Dirt Oval body or try something else?

The 15mm offset hubs must be a company joke, because with tires off i fail to see one side being longer. And they are definitely 17mm in diameter. The offset seems to be mainly on the chassis, if you turn it upside down, the screws connecting front and rear bulkheads arent in the middle of the chassis.

Can you please post a pic of the underside of your chassis.
Thank You.

I had a set of the Superasales slicks, after balanceing them I had them over 60mph MANY times on a Lightning 10 build and they were alright for what they were. I honestly dont think I'd trust them on a build of this caliber ?

That is my intention, yes. (not selling it)
I really like the look of the oval/late model style body and hope to make it work.

I noticed watching some drag videos that some of the guys running top fuel type RC's have a small vertical fin running lenth ways on the front/nose area of the bodys. Is this something that may benefit if I incorperate it on the "splitter"?
