Background

ACDC is my second generation Hacky Racer build, this includes incorporating all the lessons learned from racing my original racer (Bodge Charger). ACDC is built to have as low a C of G as possible with a wider track than Bodge Charger giving superior handling in corners, this means I don't need to slow down so much in the corners.
