Nice chassis!
Noticed he's running the motor in the counterclock direction, any advantage?

Something new I am going to try for our next race on the hillclimb in Melbourne. This Track usually has the least amount of bite for retro cars so I decided to make a super flexi chassis to try. This one has a minimum number of .032 main rails for lots of twist with the center anti decking rails to keep it from bottoming out in the bank. The idea is an old one we used back in the day (which I believe came from UK chassis builder extraordinary Barry McGee) with dual .047 rail cars. Back then they were on the outside of the center section soldered back by the Motor and they would rest on the drop arm front bumper. Also we used them on some super flexi spring steel centersection chassis.
Update
I tried this last weekend and it was excellent on the Melbourne hillclimb. Lots of traction in turns and it was flat punched up the donut. Good start for the first laps on the track. Going to try it again this weekend with what I hope is a faster motor.
