I am currently running the BMI chassis on my Surkian and the original black for rubber tire carpet.

Looks very good.

Later,
Yes thats the new HB thicker chassis parts for foam/carpet. They are amazing, the fit/finish and quality is exactly what you would expect from hotbodies.

Before these parts came out I was using the BMI chassis kit. That thing blew @$$hole. The fit/finish was of poor chinese quality although made in the US. You needed to use T2 rear hinge pins so that disabled you from using the Ti-coated pieces on the WCE.

The alignment of the bulkheads is off a bit, so the passenger side rear CVD blade would hit a part inside the rear diff causing binding. Every BMI chassis kit is like that, there all low quality $hit, probabyl the worst thing you can do to your cyclone is put that junk on there.

Im not bashing BMI, they make awsome stuff for other cars just not this one.
