lol yeah looks like there is just enough space there for a micro speedo and receiver :D
i like this it does look to have some top design work only concern is lack of rear chassis brace, i would of prefered some kind of front to rear thinish alloy brace/top deck

It has got braces. There just not as obvious.
They arn't single bars either there are 2 that go either side which IMO is better.
You get chassis twist when theres a single bar.
If you look at the thickness of the chassis down the sides must be 1com thick at least.

ah yeah i see them now they bolt to a carbon plate which then bolts to the alloy each side
fair enough :clap:
