Part # 1009, Chassis, X - 6 Squared, Saddle LiPo, Plastic, shipping to D.M.S. June 12 to arrive (depending on U.K. customs) around June 23. Retail price on our website $49.99. Shipping June 14 to fine hobby stores all over the world.
These are standard #1006 plastic chassies that have been CNC milled to match Ellis' EPR spec. There are two advantages to this set-up. First, the weight is brought a bit inboard reducing chassis roll in corners. Second, weight is brought a touch forward. I believe Ellis is ballasting this car slightly differently because of that.
Our standard LiPo battery strap, # 1223 which comes with your Kit, will fit and work just fine. If you've got tall packs, the stand=-offs described in our web site tech section will work the same as with a stick.
I assume Ellis and the Boyz will come on here and talk more about and weight or set-up changes as well as advantages and disadvantages. We have not yet tried one on a U.S. dirt ttrack.
Some may say, "It's another expensive hop-up part you've got to buy to run an X Factory car." We reply, "If you want us to stay stagnant and lose, nope, not doing it. And if you want us to develop new stuff and keep it to ourselves so you can't have it..."
No one is forcing anyone to buy anything. We give you the very latest and very fastest stuff as quickly as possible. What other company would put a stock of already molded parts into the mill and bring them to you just a week after the race debut?
