Dont Do this at home ! a Mistake !

I just finished painting my new Marwan repro body. here is how it looks like.

Notice the rear track width is less than the front !

Looks like i made a big blunder, now only i noticed that the rear track width is less than the front ! Before i throw in the towel on this suspension, i got one final trick up my sleeve, the TF-5 touring car rear hubs. I tried it before and it actually placed the rear wheels more outwards, but the bearing spacing was more than the ZX-5, hence, the pin couldnt go through. But i beleive the bearing spacing is the same as tamiya buggies, namely the Dark Impact buggy 64mm CVD. So i will get the hubs tommorow and keep you guys posted. If all else fails, its back to the original suspension, of which i have plenty of arms. Right now i just need 2 things to really complete the car, the Alec & Lane (A & L) bellcrank, and the AE B44 battery hold downs. i have just placed on order on the A & L #2182 ball bearing steering system.

Latest newsflash, the optima mid and lazer has wider track width at the front than the rear ! this is normal !
