Thumbs up High Grip/Low grip this chassis works!

Well got the new chassis mounted up with a few other goodies and was able to get about 4 packs on the new chassis.... very interesting how this chassis changed the way the car handles over the 201xmw..

Pro's
*light weight. lost almost 20g over the XMW set up and that's with the brass rear mount
*it jumps better than the XMW... even with the same set up on the car as I had with the XMW
*love the new waterfall/battery brace!! tightened up the area where the XMW had a lot of flex..
*seems to get a lot more traction than the previous alloy chassis... almost makes you want to push the car even more..
*Set ups will be close to what they were with the XMW... but I have found that the car like to have a little softer spring in the rear.. ended up going to a red spring in the rear ... but I think I'll be going up a half weight in oil to increase pack..
*if you going to just by the chassis then it's a great upgrade for XMW users that will not hurt your pocket book too much

Con's
*can't get over the white chassis... it's just ugly!! and collects dirt like no other! ( Just think wearing White pants to a BBQ place and trying to keep them clean ) this car screams for a chassis protector!!
*people still ask you if your running a Frog, Hornet, Fox ...ect ect
