Chassis Details

  Rear, Top view
Shows rear diff cover and bumper & suspension mounting. Bumper, pivot blocks, and shock tower bolt on just as in xx-4. Note simplified sway bar mount. You can work on the rear diff by removing just 8 screws - 4 that hold on pivot blocks & shock tower, and 4 that hold on diff cover.
  Rear, Bottom view
Shows rear suspension and bumper mounts. Also shows small depression in chassis to accomodate the larger diff gear. The "bump" is .050" at the center of the gear and tapers to the bottom of the chassis at the belt cover.
  Front, Top view
Shows the front belt cover, steering and shock tower mounts. All these are xx-4 parts which bolt right on. The threaded inserts go into their normal spots.
  Front, Bottom view
White bulkhead bolts right on. Note holes to bolt on bumper.
  Chassis Bottom
Shows lowered motor and batteries for better C.O.G. and improved cooling. Also shows aluminum belt access cover. Production cars will be graphite.
  Josh Cyrul designed, CEFX produced ultra-high down-force body. Car is very stable in high speed corners. Air scoop for motor, combined with open chassis, allows max air flow.
  Left side
Shows receiver, ESC, motor, and battery mounting. 4+2 battery pack allows weight distribution identical to xx-4 for best handling characteristics.
  Close up shows short, neat wiring. Motor lugs are on top for easy soldering.
  Right side
Shows servo mount and battery mounting. Antenna mounting is off-set for servo arm clearance. Complete front and rear suspensions.
