Hi si (mr speedy) - We do produce a few bits for the emb-1 (carbon towers, top deck and ball raced bell crank). We would do more but it's a car that none of us own to be able to do the testing on. The only reason we did those is we had a local guy who bought one and fancied the bits. But hew has since moved to China

Could be interested in doing a deal regarding some free test parts if you were interested in sending us car/parts for working from. You would then be in a position to feedback the test results for us as well?

Si - We've been talking about the GTB chassis options a fair bit and what I would really like to do is produce is a slightly longer chassis in 2mm alloy with machined pockets that could accept the losi side guards.
This way you would not need to widen the chassis to provide protection for the electronics which I think is better.

But the main issue comes with providing a new body for it (Si). The standard body just wouldn't work the way it narrows at the front. And as far as I can tell none of the other standard micro Phat bodies fit over the motor (although I could be wrong?). The other option I've considered is designing some 3d printable side guards that would work with the standard body, but they would be more expensive for people than the standard losi ones and a new body.
I'm definitely going to try a longer chassis and we will se what we can do with side guards.
