Background
Bodge Charger 2 was developed from a combination of the original Bodge Charger (circa 2020) and lessons learned from ACDC (a very successful low ground clearance racer best suited to tarmac / concrete / flat and smooth short grass circuits, but some of the tracks we race on throughout the year can be held on rougher ground such as bumpy fields or meadows with medium to long grass. So Bodge Charger 2 takes into account all the lessons learned from these two Hacky Racers and incorporates them into the new Bodge Charger 2. These first set of pictures show the original Bodge Charger Hacky Racer as it was in 2020/21 at the very first Scrumpy cup and then at fully charged Live at Silverstone.
