I put limiters in the rear shocks, moved the bottoms in one hole. Looked over the front suspension and found I had a TON of droop. Adjusted that with limiters and rebuilt all 4 shocks. 99% better, found it likes to be slightly on throttle in the corners, when I completely lay off (zero drag brake) it unloads and loosens up. Using a touch of power not only got me much faster corner speeds, I noticed it squared up and rocketed forward off the corners better. I had a good drop in lap times until I broke a ball stud in the rear bulkhead :oops:

Oh, I put brown front, white rear big bore springs on the vintage shocks too...that may have helped :)

Anyone know if the #63056 hard anodized chassis are available? I'd like to build a NIX10MQ but just need the chassis.

No production run of #63056 chassis yet. One batch of #63053 chassis has been done. It's sold out.
If you want a carbon #63051 chassis set Fibre-Lyte can help you out with that.

Thanks Niki. I don't see it listed... would they have the ability to make just one?

Yes, they can cut just one part or one set. I will list part prices when I get confirmation from them.

These are the current prices. Fibre-Lyte has all needed drawings to cut parts for you.
Hopefully in near future we can find NIX-parts from Fibre-Lyte website.
Ordering info from http://www.fibre-lyte.co.uk
I don't have any business connection or deal with Fibre-Lyte. I'm just a happy customer like you are and pay same price for the parts like you do.

Thanks for all the info Niki. I was able to grab one of the aluminum NIX10M kits recently from CNCRC, and I love the workmanship. I've already started assembling the kit with some 3D printed parts, and am going to order some extra shock towers/transmission braces from your fibre-lyte recommendation.

Will have to post a pick when it's ready for track action!

Thanks!
