I use the same setup. No change at all.

The BD8 is an extremely popular car and we've decide to put some attention to this model.
We've done a lot of job in the front area, as we were focused in scrub and drag reduction while turning.
For this reason, the Fenix chassis is having a special set of proprietary battery holder.

On the upper deck, extra pinion clearance is provided for those who run with high wind motors.

Does that Fenix chassis and top deck work with the Pitch Control System (PCS)?

On other hand, you might notice that we choose a countesunk hole for the grubscrew on the motor mount.
By doing so, we got 2 results.
You can to put a screw there and lock the chassis torsion in the rear end, and the screw will not touch the belt.

On other hand, you're sure that the grubscrew will not interfere with the chassis torsion

Hello! Were you gluing the sidewalls (fronts/rears)? If so, how much? Thank you in advance for your reply!

I messaged CRC on FB and they have not ordered these chassis at this point yet. No info on when they expect them.

Yes, I was gluing the fronts only all the way before the radius.
