bobthehobbyguy Posted November 6, 2014 Share Posted November 6, 2014 Ira I think you ned to do something on the front end. Narrowing the front axle might help. Whatever you do it will come out great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobthehobbyguy Posted November 6, 2014 Share Posted November 6, 2014 (edited) Another idea would be pull the front axle further forward. Just a thought. Edit thinking of the crosley drag cars. If you gogle it you will see what I am talking about. Edited November 6, 2014 by bobthehobbyguy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ira Posted November 6, 2014 Author Share Posted November 6, 2014 I think it would be in the best interests of Revell or Round 2 to start a line of Ira's off the hook designs. I think there's interest in a wildly radicalized VW bus that has an Allison powerplant behind the pilot. Or is it just me? Thanks Joe! That would be Fun...
