Well guys, If all we want to do is replace the stock chassis and leave everything else the same, I can do that. chassis plates will cost around $70 to make. In addition, if I change the top deck to move the pulley block to the top, we would need longer belts which will add about $15 for the 2 belts and about $20 for the deck. We can then move the steering assembly below and you would likely still have the option to use the TM single or dual bellcrank. This will improve the bumpsteer. It's true that there is little reason to add $150 to a car that's likely only worth $150 but it is unique and with all the improvements, even more so. I currently run a TC6 because I wanted to be competitive but I still have a desire to make my E4 better for the sake of self accomplishment.
I'm in no way concerned about being ROAR legal regarding the whole shorty pack issue. I just seemed like a novel way of making the E4 work it's best by being the narrowest chassis around and the best balanced to boot.
