NewGuy-Chassis Sizes

Guys

i'm interested in buying/building either an MK indyblade or a Stuart Taylor Locoblade/Zaki...however. my mate has a C******m R500 (sorry for swearing!!) and althou i can squeeze in the passenger seat (just!) i have sat in the drivers seat and can't fit in the damn thing! it is the standard size chassis and my mate is a weedy little runt and it fits him like a glove. i'm 6'3" and 16 stone( please no power to wgt jokes!!) and can't opperate the pedals which is a problem to say the least....any body out there about my hgt and wgt driving either of the above??

Suggestions please!

Jim

Same worry as I had until I actually sat in the Indy.

Put it this way there is no way I could drive a Caterham but I get in the indy no problem and I am 6'4" and 19st!!

You will have no problems, only thing I am doing is fitting a removable steering wheel.

HTH,
Rich.
