BMI Racing Discussions
Hey Jason, here's a suggestion, why don't you cut back the edge of the chassis about .250" directly under the motor so that people with the Tamale fan mounting ring can mount it with out it hitting the chassis ?
Don't forget to post your spool setup.
Thanks.

unfortunatley not right now.i am not going to be relying much on the big races much anymore.i will be more concentrating on stepping it up a little with the exotic factor on the kits to make them stand out once again.this is going to increase my costs but i want to stay ahead of whats on the market.it seems that the car manufacturers are increasing there quality on chassis so i need to also to keep ahead.i realize this may hurt me but i am not in it for the money.i like to just have products that are way ahead of there time.the cyclone and 007 asphalt chassis will be the last of the standard kits i make.after that i am going super exotic.

maybe someday.i need a break from it all for now.i enjoy the cars and making kits for them but this isnt much of a money making business so i need to absorb losses and then go at it again.

Jason,
Any chance of making a Lipo-friendly version of the T2 chassis? One with no battery slots but with the chassis milled out slightly where the Lipo pack would sit.

I wouldnt rule out a BMI Mi3 kit, you never know.....
im sure i will be working on stuff somewhat soon.i just need a break for a bit.i want the cars to be fun again and not just work.i new this would eventually happen so i want to get back to racing for a bit.once i get pumped again im sure i will be back at it again.im just kinda burnt out.

I hear ya Jason, sometimes its just good to take a break and remember this is a hobby for FUN!! I'll be more then happy to test out a Mi3 chassis when your ready
cool.i got into the chassis stuff and it was not for the money,it was for the fun of it and it became a part of my job that i really enjoyed.now with my regular work getting more busy it has been just alot of added stress that i dont want.it started getting stressfull and that made it lose the fun factor.once i get things running smoothly again i am sure i will be back at it.doing some racing should help me get back into it also.
