The weight forward design enhances corner speeds by moving the servo forward and running the battery inline for more front tire bite. The modular chassis design allows you to position the battery for optimal weight placement depending on your tracks traction because not all tracks are the same. The stiff 1-piece carbon chassis is also lighter for more responsiveness while keeping the front section as carbon fibre that is proven to resist tweak and bending that alloy F1 chassis can experience on small indoor tracks.
