| Post subject: | Chassis Thickness |
Hello I have now built my XII an I am very impressed, it is the first time I have owned or built an Xray, I can now appreciate what the fans are so passionate about. The only area I am not sure about is the chassis thickness, Xray have chosen a 2mm chassis where most of the competitors use 2.5mm. In my experience this will give good performance on tarmac and slippy carpet but may be too flexible for high grip surfaces. Will Xray be offering a stiffer chassis option? |

Stiffnes in carboon fiber is not just thicknes. It depends more on how its made. My old carpetknife 1:12 chassie feels more stiff (2,4mm) than my XII, but the XII is about 0,4sek faster per lap than the carpetknife on a what i think high grip carpet track. the records for me is 7,92sek/lap with XII and 8.4sek/lap with carpetknife. |

The stock chassis is 2.0mm which is great for low and medium traction tracks which is the typical condition for the majority of club level racing. For extra high grip conditions the stiffer chassis will be available shortly. |
