They are reasonably similar to the mini mopars. What info are you looking for?

Based on experience, the strut towers break pulling out the CV shaft. I haven't figured out a way to fix that yet though. I have a 96 in the line up for this year so I will figure out a way once I start building it. They have a plastic rad, so it's best to try and replace it with a steel one or at least use a cuple ratchet straps to hold it in. Once those two top tabs move from a front end hit, there goes your rad. They don't really need much pre-bending, as the ones i've ran have all went up on their own. Build it like a K-car and it should hold up fine. www.we-crash.proboards.com/index.cgi?board=compacttips&action=display&thread=14226

After 4th.. no pic of after 3rd run, all around a decent car after first demo it packed in really nice then after every run it bent in half on the drivers side. I ended running the 4th time with the back left tire 6 inches off the ground Attachments:

I ended running the 4th time with the back left tire 6 inches off the ground I hate how they belly This was after two solid runs. Wasn't built or anything, just chain and go. I ended up getting caught up with the back wheels off the ground and couldn't move. Strong cars though! This one took a beating.

Do something to stop the trunk from literally bending into the back seat area. Thats what happened to me and they shut me down because it was pretty much hitting my gas tank..Other then that though it went forever and took some hard hits Attachments:

Don't have pics but, ditch the trunk beat the quarters into the trunk kinda like a wedge. Put a jack on the end of the frame and beat the top of frame just inside trunk like as close to were the taillights were. Mine went threw 2 after the first the rear end didn't move. 2ND derby broke the strut tower deal as stated above.
