Captain America- The areas that show the wear will be taken care of in the
2nd genertion prototypes. there will be replacable skid plates that I mentioned before in earlier posts.

Thanks again for the replies.

Lookin very nice! If they are done by X-MAS email me at [email protected] so I can grab a few. Thanks.

Oh, is the hole to the clutch the same as the pro-chassis? What starter box you guys using?
And does the Nitro fuel eat at the CF or make it that foggy color or anything like that at all?
And in the colder weather will the CF be more fragile to race?

trebor- We are hoping to be in production by then, but only time will tell.

The flywheel hole is the same as the team chassis, we have been using 3 different starter box's. Losi, XTM, and I can't think of the 3rd at the moment.

No cold weather won't affect them.

RKwaad- Sorry there aren't any plans at this time for the Jammin, maybe in the future.

OSheramn- got it, thank you and we'll keep it on file.

Race-Wright- we don't have any pricing at this time as we are still in the early stages of prototyping. We will keep everyone informed on the progress and when we get to pricing we will let people know.

Thanks

Default Gen2 Chassis

Here is an update on the chassis progress.

These are pictures of the Gen2 chassis that we have been testing. It now has replaceable skid plates front & rear. It also has replaceable droop screw plates. We are getting real close to production, we just have to work out a few production issues then we can go forward.

The plates can be made out of a selection of different materials, for now we are using Aluminum, but we could go Carbon, Delrin, Phenolic, etc. etc.

Hope you all enjoy the new pics and we will keep you updated.
