My personal view is that this chassis should be better. In fact it was something i was planning on asking the factory about when i actually get round to running some off rd again.

It all depends on what you think about stiffness, and where the stiffness is etc.

But - and this is the $64,000 question - is the new Lipo chassis "preferred" to running a NiMh chassis converted to Lipo??

Its so quick to change, its quicker than swapping a wishbone!!! LOL

The only thing which slowed me down, was the damn sticky tape on the ESC took ages to clean properly - otherwise the whole change takes 10/15 minutes.... (its takes me longer to get my tools out!).

Yeh I have the new chassis on my current car, and it feels good. I have only run it on mid-grip indoors at Bury and I liked it. The track was hard to tell if it was any different to before, but when I get more time in and more back to back with my new car, which has the std chassis on, i'll be able to tell more.

I do like it though, even if it feels no better on the track, things stick to the flat chassis better and the wire plugs in to my trakpower far more neatly.

Default NEW S1 chassis
http://www.redrc.net/2009/10/schumac...ts/#more-22908

I seems that a S1 "Stiff" chassis is been released and some other bits from Schumacher

I know nobody has this yet but do you think stiffness wise this new chassis would fall in between the stiff lipo carbon chassis and the original carbon chassis ?

the new s1 stiff chassis is more flexible than the standard lipo chassis, plus it weighs in at 16 grams more than the stiff carbon fibre chassis hope this helps
