GTS Lower wishbones
After all the debate over wishbone strength that we have had on here over the years, i thought i'd tell you that we have unfortunately crashed
tested one of our Locost "book" versions.
We use the same wishbones on the front lower suspension on the silhouette race cars, and we had a major shunt at Oulton park last week. 106mph, 5 feet
off the ground over a barrier and landed on one front wheel, totally smashed the wheel, and damaged the engine and chassis, but, not even slightly
tweaked the wishbone.
Therefore its safe to say that i'm fairly confident that they are up to the job on a Locost.
