EXO-FIVE CHASSIS CONVERSION FOR EVO5/EVO5MS

From the creators of the first narrow lipo chassis for modern r/c touring cars!

Premium 2015 edition lipo conversion for the Tamiya EVO5 and EVO5ms. This is the car to have in the competitive stock touring and VTA classes! This chassis set is designed for stock type motors and has the opening in the top plate to work correctly with the smaller spur gears and large pinions used in 13.5 - 21.5 type blinky classes (because of this, the largest spur gear that can be used must be 34mm diameter or smaller).

This conversion brings your shaft drive car up to current 2015 standards with key features such as

Stiffer than our previous generation chassis. Well suited for higher grip, bigger event, track conditions.
2.25mm thick USA made premium QUASI weave chassis and top plate for superb flex traits for rubber tire racing.
Ultra narrow chassis layout for reduced chassis scrub. Only 86mm wide!
New chassis mounted easy access motor plate. Triangulated base insures solid motor mounting and superb gear mesh while independent of the top plate to reduce tweak and provide better top plate flex traits.
Motor mount is positioned on the left side of the chassis to induce better on power stability. Torque steer? What is that!
The motor position has been moved further back to improve high speed steering but also low speed stability.
Slotted motor mount allows quicker and easier motor install and removal.
New one piece, hard anodized, spur mount/ input shaft eliminates the play and vibration of the stock unit. No sloppy pinned spur gear or e-clips!
New hard anodized center shaft drive cup (no sloppy pins or o-rings) uses a Tamiya cvd puck (TRF417 V5 Swing Shaft Cap #51536) for reduced wear and quiter drive line.
1 piece floating alloy servo mount - strong, precise and lightweight.
Lipo cradle system with adjustable sliding holders (forward or back or in or out) for preferred weight balance.
Battery holders accepts full 7.4v lipo packs or 7.4v shorty style packs.
Battery holders uses strapping tape.
The outside of the holders uses micro bearings to hold the battery in - this allows the chassis to flex laterally naturally without becoming tweaked by the battery. As the chassis flexes the bearings can roll against the battery instead of getting caught on the battery like standard cups.
Can accept split style hinge blocks at the front rear and rear front location!
