H Jezz,

First thing...welcome you are in the right place

Second, I suggest you read most of this section as chassis design as been discussed often...and also under the chassis area on the main board.

Third...keep asking questions...we are all here to learn stuff off everyone else

See you around......

Welcome Jezz, all the sound information has already been offered. I too am into mid-engined cars, and at the moment race a ZZR1100 powered car off-road. You can see some of the details on my site. http://www.rortydesign.com






Cheers, Rorty.
