Cool The WCC is a (almost) completely redesigned machine
It is designed to have a 50/50 balance with the IRON head BB motors...so the handling is excellent... the WCC has a rigid tubular tig welded spaceframe which makes a big difference by itself...(pic of my finished spaceframe in my photo gallery) The front end has been lowered a bit to improve/increase higher top end speed (aerodynamics)

The real handling variables are:

* Tires...low profile make a BIG (positive) difference in handling, but make the ride more harsh

* The optional WCC suspension upgrade...I have this included...with the optional Carrera coil overs as well...

If you install a SB motor in a WCC, it will be off balance...front end light...which will cause some level of oversteer...I have no idea how much tho
