it does look good! I especially like the 4 on the front shock tower, and the bmi written horizontally on the chassis brace. Good job.

I gotta tell ya-this is tough-I have been driving a BMI eTC3 lately and its flat out dialed now. if it had a better driver-it would be unstoppable. as its stands-its stuck with me..poor car!!

The Pro4 with this chassis is going to be an unfair advantage I think. Its too bad the pro4's got that worthless motor mount. Jason's idea is much better with the ends open.

thanks guys.
ray,i did find the pro 4 motor mount a little difficult with the closed ends.im glad the chassis is working for ya.mine is flying also.it is always so consistant for me.i do think the pro 4 is gonna be a hit though,that car is real high quality.

brian, i feel your pain,i have to buy them too.any decent car you put in front of me ifeel i have to have one.its starting to get expensive

Cant wait to get my own bmi built.
In my opinion the biggest advantage to using the nitro rack is in the tightness of everything. no more steering slop. Ackerman with the rack mounted upside down is supposed to be alot better but I havent tried it yet myself. Its on my list of things to try but its a long list.

Used my BMI TC3 chassis for the first time this weekend. I race on asphalt with foam tires and all i can say is that it was awesome. Great improvement on handling, especially in the tight sections, definitly a chassis i could recommend.

Any word on when a BMI chassis will be available ffor the MI2? I just got mine today and the car seems really well put together but the chassis is extremely thin and flexes very easily. I was planning on running this car on carpet...guess I better wait until a 3mm chassis is available.
