H6 Oval Conversion Kit 1-5-2009
Following the line of Hugger Dirt Oval kits that began in 1993, R.A.E. has designed the latest version....the H6. The conversion kit is based on the Associated B3 transmission and rear suspension. The chassis features a new footprint and weight distribution along with new suspension geometry, and it is made from 3mm carbon fiber weave / graphite material. The front bulkheads, suspension mounts, transmission mount, rear cradle, and front a arms are all machined from 6061 aluminum and then anodized. " The car is very smooth into and through the corners and stable on exit. We had two versions of the earlier Huggers cars there to serve as a baseline and the H6 was the best handling car there, perhaps the best I have ever driven. You can put it anywhere on the track!" ....Roy Anderson.
The dimensions of the car are 11.0 " wheelbase with 8.750" front and rear track width with Custom Works rims mounted. Great Results first time out! The H6 finished 3rd in the EdM A main at the Midwest Nationals February 8, 2009 at Teas Hobby and Raceway! Congratulations to driver Gary Peacock and his fine effort. Gary finished in third place in the Saturday night Shootout to put him 3rd on the staring grid for the A main on Sunday. He drove a great race and finished 3rd. Mark Corns from Indiana was the winner.
