How much do they weigh? Any Aluminum pans? Parma square bushings. Are they racing anywhere? How competitive are they against JK/Mossetti chassis? How much are they?

There is no pan in fact. so I think no aluminum.
It looks to be one part plus the rear bar.

Price and RTR options available on the Mid-America online ordering page.
That's thirty minutes away. I'll be there in ten.

one of the messages we have received
Thought I’d let you know that the Mercury-based RTR I bought (for testing purposes) from you was well put together and ran far above my expectations. As a result, we will order several to sell at our raceway. It is the quickest and smoothest flexi RTR (50K) we’ve seen and it is certainly attractively priced! Is this great little car available at distributors?
they like them at the viper pit

How are the rear bushings positioned? Axle up or down, forward or back?

I would bet the centered Parma drag bushings would also fit.

Bushings up or down.
Down is ISRA legal limit.
Forward or back.
Forward is ISRA legal length.
We build them up and long. Easier to drive and take a .770" tire.

I ordered the Mercury but when I got it the suspension rod wasn't inserted into all the tabs properly. The frame was also bent from this error. I was able to slide the rod out and insert it thru all the tabs, and straighten the frame. I'll have to test it at the track and get back to you. Nice car otherwise.
