Just to update the nomenclature, here, you are right that there are two chassis plates to make this car. The first one offered by CRC was the same wheel base as the original XTi but had the mounts permanently installed so you didn't have to use the pieces off the transverse battery mount conversion kit. It was not named Altered Ego. The Altered Ego conversion came out a little later and it had the same configuration chassis plate, but that plate was shorter and long version pod plates were included. It was called Altered Ego and a complete car kit was soon offered.
I offered this explanation because some of us get confused when people are talking about the different configurations of this car. Carry on.
