Oh yeah, I saw you guys posting about that. Pretty cool to see a 1/8 body made exclusively for speed runs, sounds right up your alley. I chatted with Jspeed a few times on RC Tech, very nice and knowledgeable guy, answered a few questions for me when I first decided to do a GT conversion. I just kind of wish he wouldn't push his products in every single post. I mean I have no doubt it's good quality stuff, and nothing wrong with a little promotion, but it seems a little overboard to me. The wide rear tires are a good idea. If they ever got them in radial I would definitely try some.

So you going to do your own chassis out of CF sheet? It's nice that the GTP chassis is flat. If I knew I was going to do an on-road at the time I bought my Jammin chassis I would have had him leave out the kick-up. But at least if/when I decide I want to make my own CF chassis (probably after this one dies) I can just use sheet CF and not bother with kick-up. I've seen where people heat and bend CF, but I'd rather not deal with it at all.

Anyway, can't wait to see what kind of CF goodness you have in store!
