Hi Si,
Would of replied over the weekend but was busy cutting a new prototype extended alloy chassis.
This will give an adjustble wheelbase from 187-190mm (maximum allowable). It still needs testing and a few tweeks to the cut files but I'm confident it has has potential! The chassis has a slightly changed rear profile as well as pockets machined into the upper surface to allow more lateral flex (which hopefully will aid better weight transfer/traction in slow speed corners. If we decide to produce them we will have the 7075 hard anodised so surface resistance will be top quailty.
The chassis has 6mm extra space for the electronics install which should make for more flexibilty in esc and servo layouts, which if your like me and like to run a 380 sensored motor is a big plus.
I have also added extra servo mount holes which suit the slightly larger popular servos like savox SH1257. Another benefit in the electronics install is that the popular micro recievers should all fit on the bottom deck allong with the popular turnigy 2200 traxxas style packs (TRA2820).
The pockets are also designed to both keep overall weight down and help ballance the electronics layout out. My aim is that no no front battery weight will be required with this setup.
The final beneift that I am extremly happy with the performance of is temps (I know i've mentioned it)! I really am suprised at the drastic improvment over the carbon chassis easily 10-15 degree's drop after a 5 min heat.
