Thanks,

I have ran a BCE chassis on almost every car I have owned no matter what the mfg and they have always worn better and made huge improvements in the bumps. Bill takes his time and makes sure the plate is solid before it ever hits the public. It's always the little things for me like the way we dropped the steering servo down in the cutout 3-4mm which doesn't sound like much but on these little cars it's huge, just that one little change lowered the CG and gave the truggy an increased steering response over the already increased steering response from just booting up the BCE v1 before the little mod. The chassis is also stiffer on the nitro cars and holds the cb and spur mesh tighter. And then there's my favorite part. Every BCE chassis is cnc'ed out of a top quality slab of aluminum. There's no cheap chineese pot metal stamping going like with some mfg's (I'm not talking about serpent).
I remember the 1st day I drove my losi buggy with the BCE chassis it was light years ahead of the flex tuned chassis and wore better too. What really sold it for me was at the nitro challenge 2010 there was a long sweeper full of 30-50 small speed bump like bumps. It was like driving over 2x4's. I could actually pass other cars in this section and keep my buggy and truggy straight. Ever since then if BCE makes a chassis for it I bolt one up.
I even have one on my SCTE that only gets driven a hand full of times a year, only because I would rather race 1/8 scale. But the BCE on that truck it like cheating. Call me a fan boy if you like, the proof for me is on the track and that's where it strata and ends for me
