With the new battery layout that Keven and a few others have been running on the R5, I think it has caused a return to the Drawing Computer.
Chicky is enroute to the World Champs in Florida so I'm sure nothing will progress over the next 2 weeks.
Good luck Paul, and all the other respresenting the US of A

Paul is at the 1/8 scale On-Road Worlds in Miami. Doubtful he'll be online until next week.

On-Point victorious at the ROAR Region 5 Championships
Steve Dunn TQ's and wins 12th mod using the On-Point inline battery configuration.
Steve and myself both ran the standard On-point chassis in the 13.5 class and both ran the inline configuration in the mod class. All weekend the cars were good. I nearly TQ'd till I tapped the wall, Steve pulled a huge lap and a half increase of the previous pace in round 4 to TQ the mod class. The mod main was a hotly contested event in the 2nd-4th places but Steve got out ahead and delivered an impressive win. We both had good 13.5 cars with Steve finishing second in the main and aside from 2 mishaps with lap cars ending with a link knocked off the car was fast and able to run with the leaders, although not on the lead lap.
On-Point delivered the goods and took home the hardware.

I'll try to get some pics up when I get a chance to unpack from the weekend.

Yes it is similar, the battery is close to center line, off set just enough to provide space for and to counter the weight of the Rx and ESC. The net gain in handling seems to me incredible low speed cornering with stable high speed control while carrying awesome corner speed.

Tech Regular
On-Point Inline Chassis
Hi Guy's,
Like Ken said, it was a great weekend for On-Point. The new car is great. I think it has a larger setup window than the original On-Point s120 replacement chassis. I ran the R5 front-end and had no “hooking” issues or over aggressive turning.
With Lipo we need the cars not to roll as much, the inline configuration provides much less roll but still turns harder. I was concerned that on low bite tracks that this could be an issue, but that is not the case. In Indianapolis our track has low bite on the weekday and the car still handles better than the previous version.
Sorry i can't show any pictures yet (orders from Paul)
I talked to Paul this morning and there are many things in the works. I know it’s tough to wait, but it just takes time to get all the details right.
If you have any questions e-mail myself or Paul (Chicky).

The action of my rear pod vs chassis plate has suddenly become stiff and notchy. Is it possible one of the links has stretched in a crash. Since none of the link/football lengths are adjustable, I don't know what else it could be. Suggestions?

Slacken centre pivot ball assembly and all pivot balls and links and reset them. Check for dirt / fluff in the pivot balls etc. They may have tweaked in a heavy crash.
