I really wish Sideways would get their inserts inside the rim of the wheel...

My 1/32 scale David Hobbs wonders how this chassis would fit under a Revell-Monogram body.

Man I like this car. Jim

Mine like Harry's has no obvious clearcoat, but it runs like a scalded cat on the big track.
I have the R/M Flying Bricks , The Jagermeister and the Gold one. I like the looks of them all, but this Sideways is a real runner hands down.
Just wish it had been clear coated.
Not a biggie but something you would expect to have been done to an RTR car of this quality and price.

Good feedback guys, thank you. Hearing reports from you guys is the best thing a would-be racer could ask for.

Jim, IMHO you should move this up on that list. I'm dropping in a Baby King and the PGs I showed.

Thanks for the write up Harry, I was wondering what you thought of the new motor pod glad to see you thought it was an improvement.

Thank you folks.

I did email, but I seem to be having some issues here and there.

I think the pod works just fine. Swapping in the BK for testing now.

Got mine last week and got a chance to try it on Sunday. The new pod is a BIG improvement - the car is very quiet and smooth. The lack of clear coat does not bug me much, it looks almost right to my eye. So far the only tuning I have done apart from trueing the tires is to move the pinion out a bit so it engages the gear properly. There's plenty space to do so without getting into the tire.

Does anyone know the part number for the new pod, I have a few other Gp5s that will need one.

Thanks!

Get a hold of Mike at Cloverleaf, they had the number a few weeks back.

We will have more in stock next week. The distributor only brought in a small amount to see if it really was an improvement. I was one of two dealers that got them to try. After my feedback he has ordered more.
