Youth Revisited
The fiberglass fenders currently offered up on eBay (see the FSW posting) has prompted me to ask this question.
Are the X 1/9 front fenders "structural" at all? I believe they're welded in pieces, so, in my mind, they could be part of the overall structure. They could add a slight amount of structural rigidity or they could be simply aesthetic.
And to take this academic questioning just a bit further, if one were to remove the steel fenders from an X 1/9 and replace them with fiberglass fenders, would that change the chassis dynamics in any appreciable way?
I know, any response is going to start with "It depends on your intended use of the car…" :grin:
