I appreciate the kind words.

I took about an inch out of the chassis. I tried to use some epoxy but it did not work really well. I talked to the guy that does the sct chassis' for x-factory and this is what he said.

"I join the halves with Losi red label (thin) tire glue and carbon fiber. I don't use any screws or bolts. The key is surface area. Don't just glue it with a thin strip of CF at the joint. Also make sure you use CF strips on the vertical sides."

Mine is bolted and then I went back with a piece of g10 over the seam. If I was to do it again, I would get some thin cf and do like what I have quoted above. I would do it in the side pods and also in the battery bay.

I will have to post a new pic of the front of my car. I turned around the b4 tower, and this took the forward angle out of my front turnbuckles. I would like to make a new chassis for it, and maybe reposition some of the rear suspension mounts to change the driveshaft angle.
