Time for an update!

The widened wheelbase is wonderful. It turns alot better, and I can keep decent throttle into turns. The Direct Drive setup is much better, too. It eliminates the friction the gen1 rear end had. Not only that, but the acceleration is quick and smooth.

The front suspension is still under construction. Right now it has ATM SAS adjustable shocks with medium springs, but its too hard for my tastes. I like the responsiveness, but the turning radius shrank a little from when I had soft springs. My solution? A sway bar.
