Hi what are the benefits of these after market chassis over the stock, obviously performance related but I'm surprised xray and all their expertise seem to be outdone but several after market options?
Also can someone explain the benefits of the alum chassis vs the stock carbon options as I've seen them used widely in TC and F1 (but not so much in pan car)?

Also, XRay does make aluminium chassis for both cars.

For me I noticed that the chassis always drug on the ground really bad mainly through high speed sweepers and it always hindered the cars steering and every point on the track. Now with the link floating and the chassis narrowed a good 30+mm, the car handles so much better and transitions back and forth way faster.

I recently changed from the aluminum to carbon chassis plate, and now my ride height is off by .5mm left to right. I tried removing the screws for all the top plates, laying the chassis flat and tightening the screws, no luck. I feel like I'm overlooking something stupid here, any suggestions?

where is the difference on the chassis front; middle ; or back? Since brand new, mine has always had a variation in the middle from side to side. the front and back are rock solid. EA is at my home track and he stated that is nothing to worry about. his 12th scale is the same way.

hey guys so i have perfected the lipo holder part of the kit. The main piece is made from 3mm cf and the link mounts are pocketed to 2.5mm. Also added extra holds to widen the side links for different tuning option (this actually works very well). I thread the holds for the tweak screws so no more ugly blown out holes as well. Price on these 2 piece will be right around $50 for those interested. Uses the crc band to hold the lipo in, no more tape!!!

I just picked up a 2017 X1 and I was curious if there are any necessary upgrades or tuning parts that I should pick-up before I start to build the kit. This is my first F1 car. I will be running the F1 on a high traction black CRC carpet track. Should I change the CF chassis to aluminum?

My car is no where near weight. So I need the solid version when it's available.
