due to the cut outs and the motor mount being shaved of every little gram

I have to admit the chassis on the Xenon and the PAL are way better than the Stock one.. they are beefy...and also the PAL version chassis set is even lighter than the Xenon one by 8 grams!!!!!!!!!!! due to the cut outs and the motor mount being shaved of every little gram

not really because the Xenon R2 with the PAL short A-arms comes in under weight also 1490g with body and elec. Gp3300 ect ect..still very light..and now even stronger

the PAL Carbon looks like the Stock stuff and the Xenon Carbon looks like Tamiya stuff

I was able to See a EXCEL R2 yesterday night...... it"s basically the same thing as a R2 on the lover chassis but it"s missing the 2 battery slots behind the servo....and it's 2.7mm think...and the upper deck looks like its a cross between a FLAP and ALEX upper deck 2.4mm thick
all of that for about 580!! no ti screws or turn buckles...standard bearings.... ...and it has a nix of the older style center shaft holders
old style in the rear and new double bearing style in the front hmmmmm..

doesn't sound like a very good deal, would of thought it came with titanium turnbuckles atleast, screws would of been half expected too. What do they have thats going to be an extra incentive to buy it. It's not the thickest chassis around, nor the most special. Using the common PAL drive system and some alloy hubs, it's almost boring
