Thoughts & comments?

Its a great chassis but the lower plate has some flex in it but not bad.

I had that chassis in black. I did'nt like it because it all the caster out of the truck. The chassis is flat & has no kick up like a stock chassis or gmaxx chassis.

Yeah, I did notice the lack of angle on the front skid part. Would it be possible to heat the CF with a heat gun and angle it up a tiny bit? I'd say this was a poor mans G2-CF chassis= looks great but isnt quite on the same level....

If you do that your upperplate wouldn't fit anymore.

Poor design, no kickup.. and the front bulks are connected to the upper plate with an angle..

Not worth it.

sui as far as i know the only way to form CF at a angle is to vacum form it like the VANTAGE RACING revo chassis or lay it up by hand on a form before adding the resin. Rene please correct me if im wrong.

Yeah, while some CF is thermal bendable. It's the compound which is used to 'glue' the stuff together. While one gets weak when it's hot, the other might get weak and brittle after cooling down.

Looks pretty good, but I'd prefer a gorillamaxx chassis.
