Heres pics of the drive setup as best I can get without major disassembly.Its missing 1 engine right now because I decided to retire the thing before it gets destroyed!So instead of wasting 2 brand new mugen mt 12's Im running them in another car,once thier worn out Ill put them back in and put the car back on the shelf.
The reason I retired it is the next to last time I ran the car a rod end on the ladder bar rear suspension broke near the finish line causing the car to turn 90 deg. to the track at 45+ mph,the car barrel rolled over 40 feet past the finish line.The front section from front of engines forward is built from 1/8 and 1/32 inch plywood like a r/c plane to save front end weight.Its a 1 crash wonder!and Im very lucky no damage from the crash.I repaired it and ran it 1 more day of racing and decided to park it for good(looks good on the shelf in 1 piece)

last 1 the rear body is hand laid fiber glass over a foam mold,the front body section is from a bolink dragster to save front weight(lexan v.s. glass)I went for an old school front engine dragster look like from the 60's I like the old look more!
