I can tell you first hand the 12th is amazing with the new chassis. Haven't really ran a 12th since Vegas and instantly it was dialed on the track.

Hi Guys,

The website is updated with the final production pics of the Rev5Lipo. The kit comes standard with the Aluminum Bulkheads, new HPS shock, and Avid Racing Bearings.

The on-line shop will be updated with all the new part #'s in a day or two.

Alex, there will be a conversion kit available also. It actually has the chassis, bottom plate, and tweak brace.

Dumas actually got the first batch already sent down to Texas, so if you can't wait I would contact him....I'm guessing they go pretty quick.

New pics:

Have a great week.-Bruce

Bruce - the new kit is a really good value w/ the new pod plates and shock. I was thinking about only getting a chassis kit but now I might just pick up a kit.

Do you know how heavy the built race ready kit is? My 'Lia-edition' Rev.5 filled with shiny titanium stuff tips the scales at 705 grams w/ a Protoform Speed 12. I needed to add a fair amount of lead to the car in order to make weight when running 1c 10.5 at the Canadian Challenge. I replaced the battery position holder with lead.

I was thinking the same thing. When I ran the Rev5 chassis at our end of season race with SMC 3.7, Tekin RS, Futaba 603 Fasst, Duo 10.5, Futaba 9602 and chinese boost, I had to add 3gr to make 700. This car did have associated front end and aluminum motor plates and light 12 body.

So with the lighter chassis and the new 730gr weight what is the thought on were to put it?
