Re: pic: Blizzard proto base

I'd be a bit worried about the front. I recall many teams having problems with bumper rules this year. And then there is the possibility of getting hit in a bad spot and bending one of the front forks.

One final question. How much clearance space do you have for the chain?

I'd make the front parts a bit wider or at least put a couple of angle supports in there. A couple of triangles or braces go a long ways in preventing bends.
