Pro-

-New narrow Aerospace carbon fibre chassis optimised for both Lipo and lower weight limits. Narrow chassis also prevents corner grounding increasing mid corner traction.

-New quick release layshaft design with single sided mounting for improved flex through the transmission.

-New ability to flip transmission to change weight balance for any choice of radio gear.

-New black slim lightweight CNC machined diff and spool pulleys.

-Efficient transmission with twin Kevlar belts and New precision black CNC pulleys.

-New Shorter & Stiffer carbon fibre wishbones for increased traction and corner speed.

-New Xtra flex yokes for more steering and improved impact absorption.

-Clamp motor mount to adjust motor centreline position and therefore side to side weight distribution. The car can be perfectly balanced with any lipo and choice of radio gear.

-Split rear transmission housing with options to adjust chassis stiffness, combined with long top deck design to optimise chassis flex and increase traction and corner speed.

-Optimised carbon fibre upper link design with options to adjust roll centres.

-Optional alloy twin pivot block system allows infinite adjustment of roll centres, toe-in, anti-squat, and track width on front and rear.

-Fully adjustable, suspension geometry, wheelbase, caster, camber, roll centre, track width, ackerman, droop, anti dive, anti squat, (with optional blocks) front toe in/out, ride height and much more.

-Alloy eccentric adjusters for optimum belt tension. Easy diff height adjustment to allow changes in drive shaft plunge. This can be used to increase or decrease traction.

-Quick release diffs – Just 2 screws!!

Has anyone posted any asphalt/rubber setups yet? I looked at the setups on Kenny's page and they all appear to be carpet setups...

Thanks
