Status: offline 		Also said this in a PM, but good to have out in the open. ^_^

For the 16th scale electric vehicles (my awesome new EXB-16 in particular) the chassis isn't really that stiff. I can grab the front and rear shock towers and twist the vehicle by at least a quarter of an inch. While this isn't bad for bashing, it would be nice to have some more rigidity when running on a track.

Would the nitro aluminum chassis plate bolt up with little issue? If it won't then I would suggest an aluminum/carbon fiber chassis for the 1/16th scale electric vehicles, and either an aluminum/CF top plate.

And in the steering department, I have noticed a bit of slop due to the soft spring in the servo saver/bellcrank. Would it be possible to get a bellcrank without the servo saver? A metal geared servo will more than handle any stresses these little guys could dish out, so a built-in servo saver is nice but not necessary in every context.

With some chassis/steering stiffening, and a good aftermarket powerplant, these guys would rock the racing scene. And if my assumption that the wheel hexes are 12mm is correct, you could bolt up 1/10th scale sedan wheels with rally tires on them to give you a wider tire selection, while still maintaining the original looks of the vehicles. ^_^

Status: offline 		Ok guys, here is a suggestion. I have just finished the rebuild of my RXB-1. There was more broken then what I thought. I think that a screw kit would be nice for each of the models. I know i would buy one. What I found was that some of the screws had broken in the wreck. Anyways, I hope to see this soon.
