I will try not too look too stupid with this. Which is the steering bell crank? Is it the part "K2" in the instructions?

Now... which one you will go with?
TAMIYA carbon reinforced tub chassis?
or
SpeedTech R/C carbon fiber plate chassis?
Question.... it's!

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

trip with us here in Vegas for IIC race. If you guys have any question regarding the chassis, please post here and I can ask him about it.I will post the picture again

I might be wrong, but it seems both front/rear brace still used, and 2F is mounted on brace, just like the way TechRacing did.
Question: what thickess it's, both chassis and 2F deck?

Everyone figures that lighter weight and stiffer is always better. But like all other chassis tuning options, how much stiffness and lightweight helps depend largely on what you intend to race on. My jaw dropped when I first got a look at that lightweight carbon chassis. But once I calmed down
I realised that it probably wasn't the best choice for the 'on again...off again' traction of our outdoor asphault track. It does look damned sweet though...

Hey Steve W, nice chassis. Question, is it gonna be carpet friendly? Meaning, how do you think it'll handle side to side flex? What's the chassis thickness? Also, does Xenon sponsor anyone? Looks like it's gonna be a killer chassis. Can't wait to try it out!

I'll know by the end of October. We start carpet season around then. It might be fine for Stock. But not Mod.

Note: I'm looking towards the Xenon Racing chassis! This thing needs to shed a few grams and more stiffness for carpet. I already like the fact that I won't have to cut up anymore servo mounts with that chassis.
