Excellent quality work. Respond fast to emails. They may need a new chassis plate being a new car, to measure up. They will also do custom work if you can send measurements.

Maybe the 503 needs new top decks similar to updates made to the 502X?

IMO modern cars are being designed for modern high grip tracks. Thus why not stiffen the chassis up and make it rigid for these high grip tracks? Then fine tune the suspension? 4wds don't need to be as forgiving as 2wds due to the higher grip generation of 4 driven wheels.

I have asked Frederik if he can come up with a shorty pack conversion for the 502X, similar to Yokomo, B44.3 and HB 413. Should keep it competitive for a while longer! Why not do the same for 503?
