I don't know how thick the tuning kit chassis is but one track layout I practiced a lot on the tuning chassis was to flexible for all the jumps my chassis flexed so much on the layout and was burning marks in the tank. I know that can happen If the motor comes loose but it wasn't loose at all the chassis was to flexible on that layout so if the new chassis is around that thickness that extended motor mount would help with that.

The material feel of a real 3mm chassis opposite to a shaved down 4mm chassis is completely different..

Had tlr decided to race the 4.0 and then release the X afterwards it would have a baseline to compare to, they could spin the results any way to make the X being an improvement. It surely isn't true that the factory team had zero experience with the car, that would be suicidal when you try to make a good impression to the buyers which is what matters right?
It didn't went well but comparing the announced changes to my data on the old car I can share that the new car is more neutral to drive, still a thing or two that can be improved but I'm almost sure the team behind it will take care of it.

I'm really liking the new buggy, lot of changes for the better. But sad about one thing...no universals ....out of the box stock. Most buggy's have them as stock. The K car, H B's, Tekno, XRAY, SWorkz, even...The Car...lol. Hate to spend $650 and have to add another $100+ to run universals...most tracks are bumpy here in the states.

You can't compare the flex of the 4.0 tuning kit chassis to the X.
beyond the above mentioned reasons for oneone new chassis is much wider, two I'd suggest they haven't milled the sides folds off like before. It will most likely be stiffer than the stock 4.0 chassis. But that wasn't all that stuff either compared to a 3mm chassis without the sides milled down

At our race 2 weeks ago, the track was gnarly. Super rough, 3 inch ruts, ect. I started out running the tuning kit, and by the main, I was back to my standard set up with the tuning chassis. I didn't care for the universals. I wonder if their decision was based on their factory drivers not really running them....

Going by the pics of the front steering hub I see I5 T2, so it should be 5* of inclination and 2mm trail like the mbx7r and the front axle is angled like the mp9 and the mbx series, not saying it's a copy of one or another because geometry is tire dependent I just want to know the whys.
I don't see any reason to run so much scrub nor SAI (our cars haven't any space constraints like 1:1 cars) so I am asking here in hopes of someone in the know to school me.
