Thanks Guys!!!
Not to brag, but I am really happy with how this one looks! With the short wheelbase and low chassis weight (not much chassis left), it runs pretty good too.
Peter-TBH...I haven't chipped this one yet. It is running analog right now. It is going to take removing the LED from the chip and rewiring it in a different spot like the Dslots. Unfortunately, my success rate was 50% on the 2 Dslots I did. I wrecked 1 chip for everyone I got right so I'm not in a big hurry to chip this car...lol

Hey Stigs,
Really nice work to get the nascar chassis under that small body.
It's a tight fit, isn't it? I ended up using a Carrera Go mini chassis for mine.
Nice looking car! Thanks for sharing,
Greg

Thanks guys...
Greg-very tight fit indeed. There wasn't much of the chassis left after cutting it down: slide guide, motor,and a couple of axels. Not much else under there.
Bro-I cut the front axel down as far as possible and still trimmed a bunch off the back, trying to get the wheels under the body as much as possible. I wanted to get the fronts under as much as I could but didn't mind the rears hanging out some. Gives the Cobra a bit of much required muscle.
