CRC Xti ‘Altered Ego’ chassis kit
CRC have released an update to their race winning Xti 1/12th scale chassis. For some the car may be a bit too nimble, hence the release of the ‘Altered Ego’ chassis. The Altered Ego has some geometry alterations to mellow the car, making it a bit more stable and providing a more locked feeling to the rear end. Three different pieces make up an Altered Ego, the chassis, the rear lower plate and the rear upper plate. With the Altered Ego parts, the car can be run inline or transverse, however, the geometry alterations do make for a tight fit between the 1S pack and the reversed servo in the inline configuration. In the transverse position, the car has a ton of room to mount electronics and lots of options to move the battery forward and back.
