I think I'm the first and only guy to try it in the 10.5 stuff. I have a lot of people waiting to see if it works. Hero or zero right? lol

On the spindles, I did not build steering arms yet because I was not 100% sure where the rack was going to end up and I did not want to have a lot of bump steer spacer between the tie rods and the steering arms. Good eye though!
I guess on a turbo car getting it to leave super hard isn't an issue so a swingarm would work. I just don't see very many.

On those spindles, I was thinking maybe you had some cool remote control steering. Maybe hiding the leads inside the rod ends.
