Sounds good to me..

can you tell me what brand/model of blocks fit on it??

I much prefer with narrow car setup now, since I started to use 4mm hex front/rear the car has much better steering than standard.

I have tried the new narrow blocks on the rear but don't like it much unless I can narrow the front too. I found just narrow the rear it take away the steering on high speed corners, and created too much rotation on slow speed corners.

Is it me, or does that chassis look even narrower than the Zero narrow chassis? Double arm steering and rear shock tower... I hope they have shorter arms too.

Also i see the vertical motormount present.
Are there tech spec online yet or detailed pictures?

Is the front arms also narrower? Or just the rear?

I have the narrow arms. We ran them at TITC in Thailand. The car handles very well with them . Very easy to drive

Got a release date on the arms? I've been tempting to toss on some Tamiya arms to try out, but I guess I'll hold off.

Hey Cannon, tell 3Racing they need to make a thick narrow chassis with no holes in it. I think I'll need one for carpet season in the fall/winter or high traction tracks.
