Let me know if you need help testing the drive shafts.

We have a new Belt tensioner that doubles as a battery spacer so that your batteries don't hit the belt anymore. Samples for those are about 4 weeks out.

Other samples that are in the works are our T6 hardened aluminum Low Profile Ball Studs (to use on the vertical stud mounts and achieve lower inside link locations) which will work especially well on the inside, super long link locations and also on the steering bell crank to help reduce how much the inside turnbuckle hits the bulkhead. We also have "black studs" coming in T6 hardened aluminum.

Finally, recently I found a small production run shop here in Texas that cuts carbon fiber products. We are in the process of designing a dual bell crank steering chassis to be used with the XRay parts and probably a different top deck. We'll test it and see how it goes, if it works well, we will do a small production run of the chassis done on a special order level. Turn around is not long with them so this will be our best bet if it works.
