Hello everybody.
Does-anyone know which chassis (502X or 511) Lee Martin and his team-mates used at the warm-up in Finland?
Thank you for your help.

Id put money on it being the 511, but dont think that de-values the 502 in any way as its still a very capable car.

Martin was running a 511.

I think I saw Rheinard run 502 a couple of days before the event, but not sure what he used on race day. I would guess 511, though.

The front shocks seem fairly level however the rears look like they would bind under compression, I'm sure I read something from Lee that you had to use spacers to bring the shocks forward a bit, that car looks standard!

He has a shock tower spacer at the front. Shock tower spacer is 2mm thick.

Not only that, he also has some nice battery straps...
