U3480 or U3591 Chassis

[Snappy]

Was looking at purchasing the stiff CF chassis part U3480 for my SX. On the Schumacher website I noticed U3591 CF chassis for the SX2. There is no image for this on the website and I was wondering if anyone could describe the difference between U3591 and U3480 and is there an advantage of one v other / will U3591 fit an SX etc.

I use the Stiff CF Lipo Chassis. Each chassis has a different Flex. Im not sure on how much or how little. But each will flex a certain amount. I got the stiff, because Im hard on my buggies and dont want to break a chassis. But also it will help lock the rear in place to me.

It'll be the same as the S1 Cat SX II which there is a picture of I expect.

I always thought that stiffer is better, but then why does Moss use the s1 chassis. Does he know something we don't

more flex easier to drive more forgiving,not as crucial on setup

Thats not the case. The S1 chassis does have more flex, which allows the car to be more responsive on cornering, and give better traction. I prefer my cars to quite lively and responsive, hence why the S1 chassis suits my style and i dont add weight. Setup is if anything more important as the car is no longer calmed by the chassis.

Does the S1 chassis also give more traction on slippery floor?
