Improvements on front end

Hi all,

Does anyone have any experience of mating the front end of a Locost to the rear of a Tiger? I am now about to begin constructing the wish bones and I am concerened about track/geometry ect ect.

Cheers

I'm in the chassis design process but I'm afraid that neither the front end will be "by the book" nor the rear end by "Dudley's book".
I'll publish drawings asa they're available.

This question is discussed in the chassis section - the decision is whether to extend the front wishbones to match the rear track, or to narrow the rear.

I am intending to use book front, avon rear for my build and plan to make wider front track by extending the wishbones - just not sure how much by yet!
