I got to run the new prototype Pro4 chassis at the Nats for 3 packs and I can safely say that all issues with tweak are completely gone, even with the counter sunk screws in the top plate.

I ended up not running the car for other reasons which can be found in the Pro4 with close to the same time as this post.

The chassis is a great addition to this car if you are on high traction surfaces. Thank you BMI. Did I mention that it looks super trick!?

I changed to the BMI chassis for the X-RAY after the second qualifier and seen a considerable difference from the prior chassis that I had been using. The changes that I really seen was a bit more initial turn in, possibly from being a little more rigid. The quality of a BMI chassis is bar none the finest that I have seen. When I switched chassis, everything fit perfectly. I did have to change the droop because the bulkheads are recessed. Awesome machining work. I highly recommend changing from any, and I mean any stock chassis you are currently running and see the difference! Look for more BMI products coming soon to a racetrack near you.

1Fast Dude,
Are you going to the short arms? With my BMI XRAY chassis combined with the short arms, and new electronics, I shaved off 3 laps for a personal best. The car is so responsive... lov'n it!!


Jason,
Anyway you can make a solid upper bumper brace for the XRAY? I've already broke both sides of the one you sent me... it's a shame that thing was beautiful...

cost wise, do you expect it to be in the neighborhood of the tc3 chassis.
I know its probably hard to narrow it down as of yet.
guestimate understood!!!

Do you mean how high it seems to be away from the chassis? Remember where it sits on the tub there is all that webbing below it.
