Nice chassis Pro-Z Racing. I sure we'll here all about the handling characteristics, but what's weight difference.
At Z-Bar, that PCB with the FETs soldered on a tight curve is nuts!
Also at Z-Bar, the CF chassis is interesting but somethings I don't like:
- the idea of the front axles being in front of the king pin.
- custom tie rod & knuckles (where would you get replacement parts?).
- Clumsy battery caps.
- the hardware on the bottom isn't flush.
- the way the front mount is shown will make the bodies higher than stock.
- chopped side mounts. what if you want to go back to a stock chassis? the side mounts will no longer work.

The difference in time between when we get it and when the original post is made.

Were does the front sway bar go? With those 2 posts going down in the middle of the plate, it blocks the space needed for the sway bar to fit.
Regardless, I'm next in line.

Guess ill have to talk to the pro-z guys... cuz I see a way they can alter it, and allow S M L settings... but would require replacement of, or cutting away at, a key part . It would also un-stagger the batteries.

The stagger needs to be there because of the stock servo and the side clip placement.
I hope the next generation Z will have a smaller, more reliable steering servo.

Ken is right about the stagger. It has to fit the stock servo. If you want to run a real servo I recommend the Hitec HS-50 servo, airplane speed control and the mini-x receiver. However the new Castor shims are based off the top of the stock servo. 0,1,2, degree castor shims will be for sale on the first of next year. And will also mount on stock mini-z chassis.
Here's a list of bodies in no order. that will fit the Pro-Z chassis. The wide long wheel base bodies fit best.
NISSAN SKYLINE
BMW Z8
TOYOTA ALTEZZA
MERCEDES CLK
ALL NSX
FARRARI 360 MODENA
I think the new corvette is long wheel base and may fit.
Merry Xmas

I know WHY its there, im saying it dont HAVE to be the batteries are moved back so the edges of the servo case can fit, well these edges of the servo case serve no purpose at all! CUT THEM OFF there is empty hollow plastic here, and or make a custom servo case to replace it, could be a black or transparent one, after all if your going serious racing might as well change it all hehe... I say this for a Version II of the chassis purhaps... once those batts are moved a hair forward, even if not all the way.. you will have room to move the rear supports forward as well.. and trim the ass end off.. allow shorter wheel bases adjustments... I will CAD it up, if I have too just to see if it will fit.

Let's hope it works better than your D-plate.
