Default FINALLY Converted to x6 Plastic Saddle Chassis

Yesterday was my first outing with the new chassis. When I first got to Coventry's astro off-road track it was dry with a few wet patches and as the day progressed it was very wet and raining. Racing was cancelled so I decided to work on set-up for wet conditions. Basically I just changed tyres as the conditions got wetter, added 30g to rear and put on a taller guerney wing mounted back a bit.

The saddle chassis as breathed new life in my X6. It corners better and doesnt drive on the edge of grip roll. The only change I made to the chassis was to dremmel the rest of the support ribbs down to place the lipos the lowest. This also allowed me to fit the strap all the way down. I'm using Vampire 4400's which are quite thin. Also, I'm 100g lighter which made the car feel more snappy but controllable.

Why didn't I do this earlier!!
