7075rc xbe chassis

[Knuckles]

Does anyone know if the xbe chassis is going to be longer or stock length? I have not seen any news on it, I do know Ol'fart is working on steering set up first, Have not seen any posts from him in a while. Hope everything is ok with him.

To the best of my knowledge he will have both. First the stock length, then a longer version.

He is very busy. So I'd say he's doing great!

He said it would be stock length. But could lengthen it if it's necessary.

So longer would be cool

If it had the HPI Baja truck wheel base I could build mounts and cool bumper for it.

As it is, the stock set up lets people know that they are in for a beating.

Is there an advantage to a longer version besides extra space?

High speeds

More stable at high speeds and also better for hill climbing.

You do give up a little in tight corners. You just have take into consideration where and how you drive your vehicle.

So true. I like the fact that I can have fun on 1/8 scale tracks!
