People there who can tell me more about this chassis?
Seamless tube or welded, how thick (25 mm), expiriences?
Is the car very light when it's on the road?

This bloke raves about it.

It's expensive by our standards whatever it's made out of. There's a completed rolling chassis for sale on one site for £10,500  .
That's 42 locosts.

I went into the RSPCA office the other day. It was so small you could hardly swing a cat in there.

Has anybody seen this 'Camber Compensation Sytem' that he gets so excited about? What is it?
Cheers,

It does exactly what it says on the tin....
The CC system is quite smart. Basically by using floating links in the suspension system as the car rolls, which would introduce camber change, the
geomerty of the suspension changes to correct itself. I havent driven a dax with this fitted but i made them alot quicker round the track. A big
benefit is braking where with soft springing you dont get the increase in negative camber due to dive, the wheel stay upright. Looks funny when you
see them being driven tho......

I am in the process of adding a similar camber compensating system to my MK Indy. It took a while to calculate all the formulas but now it only takes
moments to calculate the required linkage dimensions based on any chassis and wishbones!

How much are you going to charge for a copy of the programme? I quite like the idea of camber compensation.
