DCM, I'll bear that in mind if I decide to get the KMR chassis kit. As one of the guy at work pointed out it'd be worth doing as then I can use the same batteries in both my TRF501 and my DF03. My 3 racing chassis has been modified a bit to take a Trakpower lithium battery, which unfortunately involved removing the two protruding parts of the top deck which the front body mounts bolt to!
 My main problem with the 3 racing chassis kit is the lack of space to mount the radio gear, and also how difficult it is to get to the battery retaining clips. If you want it, make me an offer. One of my friends is running the car tomorrow evening (he's just bought a Yok BX but hasn't had time to build it yet, but being the keen type he wants to race tomorrow!  ) but after that if you want the chassis let me know and I'll either put the stock tub back on it or get a KMR chassis kit on order. I'm looking forward to the outdoor series in kent this year, I'm going to try and get along to several of them if I can, I'll try the TRF501 and the DF03 and see which handles best. I might get me a brushless setup as well...  -Steve

No, what I meant was that he's keen to start racing so he's borrowing my car (the 3 racing chassis'd DF-03) to get some track time in while his Yokomo is still in the process of being built.

I whacked my DI off of many tree roots this weekend had a whole bunch of high speed tumbles and two full speed impacts with exposed logs and the car is still in one piece. The car is very strong.
It's also looks and handles pretty well. Jimmy is preparing a review on the Dark Impact / Keen Hawk at the minute. Elliott.

it is a pretty chassis, just having a right pain getting my cells in, I now have ended up with the battery wires coming out next to the steering linkage at the front, space is well tight in there.

If I was building another converted DF-03 I'd personally go for the KMR chassis unless you're running lithium. I've got a lithium in my 3 racing converted DF-03 and it's pretty much impossible to get out without some major surgery. I also had to hack the chassis around quite a bit to get it in there, which resulted in me losing the front body posts. I also had to hacksaw a lump out of the large aluminium rear piece of the chassis (the part the top deck, rear gearbox, and pretty much everything else, bolts onto). It's certainly designed for stick packs, if you tried to run a cell pack in there you'd have to heatshrink it otherwise it would short out against the chassis!
 I now have 6 saddle packs for my TRF501X so if I start racing the DF-03 again in anger I might stick a KMR chassis on it, but that woudl mean I wouldn't be able to use my lithium battery... argh...  -Steve
