RE: Homemade drifter
Sounds good, although I would definately reccomend you use plate for your chassis instead of plastic. Plate is easy to work with, cheap, lightweight and strong.
As for my car, I have decided to use 3.5mm aluminium plate instead of tube. The ratio I will be using is 3.28:1, with a top speed of 37km h @10 000rpm with 6.5cm diam. wheels.
