My thoughts ... Basics are a "scale class" rig has to adhere to 2.2 classification. Then have a "scale" scoring done by judges ... * prototype subtract for "realism" to a specific prototype (aka the model is a twin to your 1:1 wheeler) add when the wheelbase, tracwidth, tire size, etc...

Been quite a while since I did an update ... (click for bigger pics) I expect the ride height to drop about 1/2" when I get the batteries, interior, etc added on ... It's rubbing a bit if I fully flex (the beer can test doesn't hit tho). I think a bit of tubing on the shock shafts...
