New Lipo chassis, topdeck and strap
 

Hello

Have someone pictures of the new chassis, topdeck and batteristrap made by Schumacher
Part nr. U3480, U3481 and U3482

I can´t find photos on www.racing-cars.com

Interesting, i didn't know anything about it - but in fairness i haven't done anything with cat for some time.

I wonder if i might know what the chassis is - and if i'm right, i'll be very happy, because it will be what i was planning on talking to them about.

Anyone have photo of this update parts? and is it compulsory?

Just seen these pictures :thumbsup:

Is it the same thickness carbon? If guessing the "slot less" approach will get rid of some chassis flex; probably be advantageous as we move outside or something...

But what do I know!

oh, i think what i am buying lipo retainer. its cheapest))

Chassis is what i was hoping for :thumbsup:

I think this is the chassis Matt Benfield designed.. not sure though lol.

Looks pretty cool, im glad they have brought out the S1 top deck out in carbon :thumbsup:

This will make the whole chassis a little stiffer won't it?
it has less cut-outs than the std version so I would think this.?

will these be in new kits or are they "hop ups" ?

I have heard only as hop ups.. new kit is a future

So they have moved to a battery bar which better accommodates velcro it seems? I'm very pleased with the lipo retainer piece that I bought from a guy on here. Much nicer than velcro.

Does the chassis really make any odds? Not like carbon is famous for its flex in the first place?

Was on RC News earlier :)

I got this already. SHould have it on the car for Worksop on Sunday. :thumbsup:

The new chassis has locating holes for cells with humps. Personally I bought it as it is more solid and easier to stick my shiznit to, as my Trakpower cells don't have any humps ofcause.

Using the Nor-tech locator the new chassis will need to be drilled, as otherwise there is only one screw going to hold that where the cell post is - which isn't enough. I will be doing this.

Mmmmmm, I always thought the std chassis was too stiff :eh?:

I agree. I was even thinking of using the S1 chassis to try a get some flex in the car. There is no way I would want to stiffen the car up anymore than it is.

I like the top deck though as it would make it alot easier to plug the batteries in.

;);)

Yes the battery packs now sit humps down and so there is plenty of clearance for the belt.

I only have the chassis and have used it a lot. The only noticeable difference is that you have to pull the under tray down further when inserting the pack. Once in though, there's no need for extra pieces or holes to drill to secure the pack in position.

I have not changed any of my settings when I changed to the new SX LiPo chassis and the original heavily machined standard chassis.
