Playing with different chassis
I've been playing around with different chassis layouts lately. I can't leave anything alone. I decided to see if I could make a Dimec20 +8 chassis have the layout that I wanted. I have a couple of carbon fiber stiffeners that I am adding to this. It should be pretty neat when it's done. Here's a sneak peak of what the final layout will be.

I've seen this mod track side on some fast lads cars, can't be all bad.
It would have been such a nice option to have on the version 2, and do able as well looking at this- http://www.oople.com/forums/showthre...ight=side+pods though possibly would need to remove part of the retaining lip so you could still run electrics in the side pods. A car with as many set up options as the 210 and they miss one! Still, can't wait for my V2

I'd love to have a nice setup like that. This is how the car should have always come. I have removed walls from my chassis. I will make a new thin top plate that screws directly to the holes in the top of the dimec chassis. This is being made from Nylon6/6. There is also a very thin nylon layer going on the flat bottom of the chassis. Actually it's two pieces. There is a channel between them that allows for the motor sensor wire to pass. When it's done it'll look like it came that way. I was working on a carbon fiber chassis but when I saw that I could modify a Dimec I decided to start there.

The car feels totally planted on carpet with this layout. It would have been so easy for TD to provide this option with the V2... Anyway, I will be at the PetitRC race this coming weekend if anyone wants to have a closer look.

Did you modify the stock side pods on your car?

No, I designed new side pods in 3D to match the +11 chassis without these ridiculous extension brackets, got them CNC machined from 7075 aluminium and hard anodized. Not the cheapest solution, but cheaper than switching to Yokomo...
