From what I've seen of the images to date, the new chassis will be 201 XMW compatible only, i.e. you won't be able to run the 201XM gearbox in it. So if you have a XMW, you should be able to replace the aluminium chassis with the new 'plastic' one.

I'm pretty happy. I just got done with the bulk of the work to finish up my new XMW. I've got some custom stuff that I've built for it, so I'll get some pics posted, but it probably won't be until Sunday. The new track in my area is finally going to open tomorrow for the first day of practice, and Saturday will be the first race day. First thing tomorrow is a trip to the machine shop to finish up the last custom part. Once the part is done I can break in the diff, mount the transponder, set the slipper, ride height and camber. Then its off to the track to try and figure out what tires are going to work.

Are you planning to stop by the track tomorrow(Sat.)? If you are, come look me up, as I'm planning to make the drive down for their first race day(maybe you can try driving mine for a few laps & we can compare notes on tires, setup, etc.), plus, I'm bringing the 503 with me, in hopes they'll have a 4WD class....

The 211 was been great. I beat on it 4 days straight over the holiday weekend. Set-up is super close to the XMW. The stiffer chassis and weight reduction has made it even more nimble.
Couple build tips.
oil the bearings before you install them
if using the gear diff, use the TRF red o-rings
the blue TRF damper o-rings in the kit are butter smooth, but leak. use the clear, red or x-rings.
rear hexes not included. you need 9804801 and 9805893. 1mm shim on the inside, .5mm shim on the outside.
Also, my XMW is in the f/s section

Just watched Jason Snyder's unboxing video. UGH! I want to try this chassis. I'm tired of having the heaviest car in stock class. Maybe the right answer is Mod.
