Just got my 12r5.1 Lipo chassis. I'm really impressed with the quality of this CF, and I am really picky. I did some brief comparisons between the regular 12r5.1 chassis and this new and improved one. Here's the break down . . .

-Both are 2.5 mm thick
-Stock is 50g vs 58g for the lipo version (its nice to have the weight down low)
-The new chassis is drilled for both the popular JR and Futaba servos
-The new chassis is drilled to locate the servo 3 mm farther forward, where I normally locate my servo anyway with spacers.
-The new chassis widens the front end out about 2mm for stability.
-It looks like the new chassis is drilled to accept CRC lipo locators and allow you to move the battery fore/aft.
-There is a center hole drilled at the rear of the main chassis for those who like to balance just the chassis.
-The new chassis is about 3 mm narrower than the stock chassis without adjusting the geometry.

Can't wait to get some electronics in this thing and see it carving up the carpet.
Looking forward to some comparison feedback when you get that new chassis rolling.
Do you have a 2nd car for back to back testing ?
