I agree - to a point. I was disappointed with the chain drive to the engine, as
it occasionally slips, though this can be reduced. The main thing that
disappointed me was the steering geometry. Because the racks are psitioned
relatively high, especially on rear wheels, the wheels aren't correctly aligned
(pointing inwards) unless the suspension is forced down.
But I really liked all the beams & hinge plates 8?) And the CV joints are neat,
too, even if they're non-standard. Note that sehr-schnell
http://home.flash.net/~onyx/Sehr_Schnell/Sehr_Schnell_Main.htm has a method of
attaching standard wheels to the CV hubs.
