I have a nice titanium axle in production and testing some other go fast rear end parts 
Little afraid to jump in with a chassis because so many folks already are coming in with those and also I'm a little wary about the size of the Scalpel community. I'll see how the few hop ups I'm coming out with does and gauge interest from there.

I'll see how the few hop ups I'm coming out with does and gauge interest from there.the chassis syndrome as i call it will be a real factor.....original size is great for rcp and smaller tracks.....while the larger chassis is for the bigger/faster tracks.....this indoor season will be the come out time for the scalpel.....
in the big picture you might make 2 chassis sizes....

Bryan....Here are a few ideas you can try, but just try one thing at a time.
(1) when the "optional parts are available" try using softer front suspension springs than the stock ones.
(2) tighten the spring on the rear pod shock
(3) tighten the dampening disks attached to the upper rear pod "dry"
(4) put a small amount of heavy dampening lube between the dampening disks
(5) with any of these combinations, try medium front tires
(6) play with the ride height
(7) approach corners wider (larger radius)
Let me know which one of these ideas work. I have a scalpel too and would be interested to hear which idea works best for you.

DPowell makes some good stuff. He made some custom parts for me at a reasonable price. Very good workmanship! Motek(Exotek) makes good quality stuff, too!

yes I ran the 603 with 4 cells no problem. I now run it on a six cell chassis
