The new chassis looks interesting. Wonder how much lighter it will be? Wonder if it will make the kit cheaper to produce, i.e. more affordable?

I think it lacks shorty battery pack options. All it needs though is some additional mounting holes for some brackets.

Black or white, it just aint as 'bling' as the XMW chassis. Further, I'm with a few others thing they should have made front hex axles. Rear Hexes are easy. I've just got a bunch of 503 versions from Stella. They just don't come with the screws!

I like the white. It reminds me of back in the day. RPM made a hybrid RC10 with very similar chassis.


Wonder if if could be dyed ???

These are the ones. You need to order the 1.6 x 4mm screws separately though.

Also the chassis will be white and here are the part #'s to update a XMW to a 211xm and a general price range too
New Chassis Part#10334079 (100$)
New Waterfall Part#13450694 (18$)
New Rear Battery Brace Part#13404054(8$)
New Battery Strap Part#13404055(12$)
New Rear Brass XA mount Part#13450695(15$)

So for about 150$ you can upgrade a TRF201XMW to a TRF211XM... sounds a lot cheaper to do it that way vice buying a whole new kit
