Hello,
I finally found the time to do a first test run, here you can see a video:



For the test I installed #93032 Tamiya Cemented Radial Tires (which are actually not in the database).

The car ran fantastic. The body was rolling quite a lot (didn't look very stiff), but I think this is due to the weak body mounts...

I had a lot of fun with it sticking to the track the way it did.

Hi Monsta,

I will upload the files to thingiverse, than you can download them there. I think I will do it this weekend.
I also have updated the rear suspension, I will share this file as well.

I ran the car 2 weeks ago, with Tamiya A-type tyres. It has a lot of grip, fun to drive. I'm not 100% happy with the Honda body. It is quite modern and pretty high. I would prefer an old touring car body like the Honda Accord.

I found a Clio body, but did not find the time to complete it.

Stabilizers would be the next idea... but no time at the moment.

Which body do you plan to use?

A week later than planned I uploaded the 3d files to thingiverse:
www.thingiverse...ng:4823142

It would be nice if you would post a make!

I added some updates last year: the rear end has been updated so the shocks can be mounted lower and in 2 different positions.

I ran it about 3 weeks ago and the car goes really well on A-type tyres. I think some stabilizers would improve the handling, so I still need to find a solution for that.

Hi HaCo,

sorry for my late reply. 
Thank you for the files, i will look tonight after work. I have made a couple of things if you're intrested, 1mm shorter rear upper links so you dont need to buy turn buckles and a bumper shaped like a splitter. 
I used a Opel Vectra, as per my box art, this is how body turned out, not sure if i can bring myself to run it, too many hours in the decals.
