Our club runs a Revo Slot Grp2 as a Class ie Mk1 Escorts, Alfa club, Datsun 510 etc.
With the release of the two versions of Mazda RX7 by Revo, I was wondering if they are intended to compete against the other Grp 2 class cars.
From basic Pendle specs - if you compare track width with the previous widest Grp 2 car being the Alfa, the RX7 depending on which body version you look at is 2 to 4mm wider in the front Track and 3 to 5mm wider in the rear track. Also they use different Front and Rear hubs which look wider and taller than the Standard hubs the rest of the Grp 2 cars use.
There has also been some historical discussion in real life about the fact that Mk1 RX7s are two seater Sports cars unlike the other Grp 2 cars which appear to be 4 seater tour car types.
Just intrigued as what everyone else's thoughts are, as I suspect when they are tuned up properly they will be a weapon and likely will out perform the other GRP 2 cars.
