The all new 1/12 Carpet Gnome is here. It draws inspiration from the Outkast V2 1/10 scale car with its left side weight rail and unique styling. Designed in-house with the help of Harry Leach of Mostly Legal Speed Shop (MLSS).
This chassis uses 1" on center weights for the weight rail. For convenience, we are providing two different style pieces of carbon. One is tapped to use the PRW style countersunk brass or tungsten weights. The other is countersunk to use the new Impact threaded bolt-on brass or tungsten weights. We did this so the racer can choose their weight style preference and use whatever they already have. There is a place for 1 or 2 weights on the weight rail and 1 behind the left front tire. No weights are included with the base kit or conversion.
This car is the first in the new line to offer optional carbon bottom plates with rear steer. The kit ships with a 0 degree plate. Optional plates are available for .25 degree, .5 degree, and 1 degree rear steer.
This kit comes complete with most everything to get on the track (short of additional weight, electronics, body, tires, and common misc. pan car shims).
