Perhaps not, but Derby Talk is foremost about kid's racing, and your "trike-alike" will be a car kids will have fun seeing race.

Thanks for the kind words FS.
Well the design was fast alright.. this car was headed to be one of the fastest i'v bulit so far.
However in this design it was lacking in crash strength on the front end of the car.

Ran the car tonight for the first time on the secound run..
Well the car smacked the pillow at the end of the test track and snaped into just under the handle bars.

I think Dash Derby was right when he said cars with a curvature in design under the car,
Will have trouble stoping because of brakeing surface to the stoping pit.

So it looks as if it's back to the drawing board.. to re-design in some crash strength. Bummer!

Aron your wagon idea is looking better already. ;)
What type of automobile can be spelled the same forwards & backwards?
