Hi all, time for a bit of an update

Here's a few mock-ups to get an idea of the size and style of the car, they're quick and dirty, nothing fancy!
For reference, they're 1:10, wheelbase is 220mm and track is 140mm. They use the same rear engine section, based off rough Toyota 4-age dimensions





What I'm thinking of is using swappable body panels for the front cowling and roll bar area, hence the two different designs. The one with the card and skewer front end works well with this idea. the full monocoque chassis looks a lot better, but has less customisability.

Using a standard, spaceframe engine section means that new engines can be adapted very quickly, as long as they're similar in weight and size ( thinking transverse, 4cyl of around 1200-1500cc)

Any ways, what do you guys think? in terms of style, size, structure, anything!
Cheers, Aaron
