Title: Front wheels stick out
Post by: NathanH on August 02, 2006, 08:19:35 AM
I really like the look of the Hurricane Cobra's I've seen. They remind me a lot of an ERA. One thing that bothers me a bit from the photos, is that it looks like the front wheels stick out a little too wide, like they should be tucked under the front fenders a bit more. The photos I've seen are with the Trigo wheels. On a few photos, it doesn't look quite as bad. Is this something they've made an update to?

I've uploaded a couple of examples:

Hey Nathan
On the early models, the front track was about 58". The later model cars have been narrowed to approximately 56". (I say "approximately" because I don't work there and can't measure one)
Take a look at HM1001, which I'm pretty sure has the later track width.

Thanks for the info. It looks much better. Funny how a couple of inches can make such a difference.
