hey All,
I just installed my exotek on my 009 with the weight add-on option.
I find that the battery taping option is very awkward, I cant get a piece of tape in that slot for the life of me, unless im doing something wrong.
What are the options here? What are other guys doing to strap the battery down with the weight being installed?
I've kinda fabricated a strap down like how 12scales use the rubber band idea.
thanks

Did you closely follow the diagram in the instructions? If you follow the arrows then it is a breeze to route the tape in and should take no longer then an old style chassis.
Best,

Any chance for a sneak peak at the F104 Pro chassis your working on? Any cool features you can share with us?

That's all I will say for now. More details in 2 weeks!

I just recieved my Exotek XR2 chassis - I am going to test it later on today. I have a question though: The chassis has been sanded all the way around and got CA glue. The Xray manual also says to CA glue the front 3 holes for the bumber, and then I wondered: Would it be nescessary to CA glue all the screw-holes, all the bulkhead-screw-holes or just the front 3 holes for the bumper?

So I fitted the new chassis today.
The finish on the edges and the pulley-cutouts are pretty good. But the finish on the countersunk holes are not good. I know I am used to Xray quality, but this did look messy.
When trying to put the new chassis on, I experienced a couple of problems. The servo-saver-"holder" (Xray T2 '009) didn't fit. I had to use my Dremel a bit to get it to fit.
One of the screw-holes for the rear bulkheads was a little bit of, causing to tweak the chassis a bit. So I had to drill it out a bit to get it to fit properly.
It is supposed to have 3 lipo positions, but I could actually only just fit my lipo in the outer-most position (and not a height-issue - it was a width-issue). So no real ability to play around with lipo-position.
I have the steel cups, and I only needed about 20g to get the car perfectly balanced at 1300g.
With the chassis fitted, I headed to the track. First thoughts: I don't like the way to mount the battery-tape. I think it is pretty hard to mount and unmount the tape.
It is hard for me to judge the performance on the track, as I also switched to a new radio, so I can't say what did what, but I did cut 0.1 sec of my former best lap-time - and that was with my first battery!
