Well I took the plunge and ordered an FGX and a ton of hop-ups. Can't wait.

Is the chassi upgrade to carbon a must on the FGX or the original company plus IFS is ok
Which are the best online shops for F1 accessories for FGX?
Thanks.

I agree with you, the whole block shall be made of alloy. I guess that 3racing may make this an option part soon.

Yes I did and i found it AWESOME to drive, tested and raced the EGX IFS at the same time,and I was surprised in the difference it made.
I had a hard hit at the front end and cracked the nose top deck, in this mishap I found that putting the 3 racing longer std ballstuds in gave it a bit more strenght in that area as my hit at the front ripped the ballstud out, so may even go longer with nut ( not lock nut as it is to chunky ) and spring washer, we'll see.
I haven't at this stage played with set ups but where it is now is good, just finer adjustments here and there, hopefully i dont need to change much of the set up that i end up with on the EXOTEC IFS.
Some photos at race day, no action shots unfortunatly, Body was just a test with doing a cardon fibre wrap.

Yes but If I glue the whole thing together I loose the option to change the camber settings, and I need this until I find the correct IFS settings for my FGX.

Just some ideas for thought

I guess that's what I ended up with. I can still adjust the camber with the exotek upper arms.
I had to polish the aluminum ball hinge with sand paper a lot to make the exotek upper arms work smoothly with the IFS. Now I actually have 1.0 ~ 1.5 mm droop at the front.

It is time for me to get a carbon fiber chassis, any opinions on which one is the best?
