[snige]

hey lads just wondering if this chassis is available to get and wha advantages and disadvantages it has thanks

[mark christopher]

you can only fit saddles in the same orientation as the stick packs

Take a look at the National photos Mark, Ellis appears to have them side by side.

Guess it brings the weight in closer to the center, cut down on roll.

Looks to me like a modified standard chassis.... Ooh where's the dremel?

[YoungChazz]

Our Team drivers have complete freedom to try anything they like, and they all own Dremels. You U.K. guys are generally not familiar with Brian Kinwald, King Of The Dremel.

All sorts of modifications have been tried on most Team cars, and you never can tell which ones will show up at a National, much less will find its way into production; that is how we stay ahead of the others.

The saddle LiPos side-by-side only works with certain electronics (to keep the speedo in the center) and on certain tracks. For example, the stick actually helps on many loose dirt tracks.

Ellis has long been known as the most innovative of drivers --Dirt and Big E have the utmost respect for each other -- so Ellis is always trying something new. Sometimes you must look closely at his car, other times, as now, it's obvious; but, trust me, the Staffordmobile will be still different at the next round.

It all makes you, the X Factory Family, faster.

Not incidentally, Congratulations Ellis! I did not see the video of the last two mains, but winning the last one by 6 seconds (!) sure put the Stafford stamp on things.

Where's the video???

And just to confirm what Chazz has already said, the chassis on Ellis car today at EPR was a standad plastic chassis that he had "modified" to accept the saddle LIPO's side by side.

We are "very likely" to be offering the chassis, already machined (so you can run saddles in this format OR continue to run stick across the width) as a tuning part very soon (for those who wish to purchase one already modified) as well as the possability of putting up a detailed guide of how to mod your own chassis on our website (for those who fancy doing it themsleves or not spending any money ..... LOL)

Incidently, Ellis was also using today a new prototype heatsink/fan mount for the motor which worked a treat too, expected to be available very soon also......
