I wonder if I could get some specs and the building manual for the
Caterham... a scale RC model would be fun.
Brian
Not sure what country you're in, but over here in Blighty they're legal, or
can be made so with parts from Caterham if you've bought a track version.
And have you seen the size of these things, couldn't scale it down much more
let alone make it RC ;o)

The Elise is a road car, as are most Caterhams. You can get them on the
road in the US too. Where are you?
Ask them. You can buy build manuals. You can also buy build manuals for
most kit cars.

Yes, I know that's pathetic, but the dogs are demanding and my Taurus Sedan
doesn't make them happy :)
What I REALLY want is the Mercedes/AMG. The new one. AMG-55 or something
like that. But unless one of the Golden's can also start poopin' golden
bricks, it ain't gonna happen :)

BTW: Insurances also don't pay for accidents under race-like conditions, so they
will assume that you were running your vehicle a bit aehm... pushy...
