Excellent review, of a true classic, and game changing, racecar.

Thanks for taking the time to do this.

Great review Joel.

This was the first open wheel kit I'd ever built. I molded aluminum screening to get rid of the clear plastic thing they were calling the intake screen. To me, that was the only downfall of the kit. Loved every minute of the build.

Hi Joel

Great review! You've plonked this straight onto my "keep a look-out for list!" Hopefully you've got this classic racer lined up for a build soon.

All the best
