Change roll and dive/squat by adding/removing spacers. Toe is changed with different blocks, width would be adjustable in the same way.
Sell it? Well, its a tougher design... Suppose to change the way the arms/bulkheads/chassis flexes?
I like it... The roll adjustment is probably easier with the new design. Toe and width well... Probably easier just a few additional spares needed. Realistically, if your on a budget, you wont need all the different blocks. Probably 2deg, 2.5 and 3.0... But that depends on motor class and how you set the car up.
I cant wait to get my hands on one....

Seems like it would just be easier if they did it like the T3 does

Guys - around the photon ex - it is changing. I cannot spill all of the beans but don't make up your mind if you like the car or not by a few shots of the car. The changes are more of a fine tuning based upon what they learned by running the prototypes.
This weekend Larry Photon EX looked really good at our club race. He is trying to build a setup that is easier to apply to the car by using the easier EJ shock building method. Honestly I haven't seen him as excited about his TC in a while as it as working better than his STD Photon.

Tech Regular
on the EX, is it likely that this new car will follow the xray 12 method of connection between bulk-heads and wishbones or go with the proto-type / tamiya style?

The goal is to balance your car with everything as close to centerline as possible. With the motor side usually being the heavy side, you can flip the long belt to the right and mount your electronics closer to center. This will push the battery a little further out for balance but you shouldn't need as much weight on the battery side to balance the car. There is no reason NOT to try it.

I haven't weighed them in awhile, so I was a little surprised at the results. Thunderpower 50c 5200 battery 298 grams. OHP 65c 6000 battery 315 grams.Electronics: Tekin RS, Futaba 9551, Futaba micro receiver, Micro xponder, Boss fan, 302 grams.
So I'm looking at a 302/298 or 302/315 weight balance. I guess (for me) the belt side doesn't matter as much as general placement and good balance.
