Carbon Fiber NIX91 Chassis Kit - Orders Now Accepted!!!

[Seabass]

Updated on 11 Nov 15

Please make sure you read and understand everything here. First I am very happy to offer the ability for many of you to build this car. My goal is to provide a the parts you need to build a car of your own with parts that are of high quality and machined to have the best fit and finish as possible. What does this mean.....time is required. All the materials for this kit are readily available; however, the material for the chassis is expensive and will be made to order. There is not much I can do here and rushing through the panel work or machine work will only cause frustration for you and I combined.

Many have personally seen examples of my work and I pride myself on quality work. This kit is no exception. With that being said, there are bound to be small problems encountered along the way even though I will do everything to catch them on my end. I will honor all purchases and make sure any problems encountered are corrected.

The chassis kit will include the following items:

Part Number Pending - 25 Degree Chassis (Carbon Fiber)
NIX91-017 - Upper Deck (Carbon Fiber)
NIX91-015 - Front Shock Tower (G10)
NIX91-004 - Rear Shock Tower (G10)
CNCRC-006 - Tranny Brace (Carbon Fiber)
CNCRC-003 - Aluminum Wing Mounts with Set screw (2pcs)
CNCRC-004 - Aluminum Chassis Stand Off (4pcs) (Non-tapered)
CNCRC-001 - Front Bumper
8-32 Small pattern Nuts (2 pcs) - Used to secure steering bell crank hardware to the chassis

Please be aware, if you purchased one of the original run kits, a small change was made after seeing chassis failure (broken chassis at the rear arm mount due to screws pulling through the Carbon Fiber) from on of our racing members. The rear arm mounts and chassis have relocated screw holes to keep chassis failure down. This change was made to strengthen the rear of the chassis but retain the the factory appearance for those of you wanting to build replicas. If you plan to run this chassis, it is highly recommended that you opt for the race version of the rear arm mounts as it eliminated chassis failure.

Those who purchased a Nix91 from the original run, can still get the ream arms mounts needed for that chassis at Shapeways.

There are two ways you CF NIX91 can be built, a replica or race ready.

The biggest difference in the replica and race ready version comes down to strength. We added strength to many of the parts designated for race versions simply because they can withstand more hits without the chance of breaking. You can race your replica version successfully as well, as many still do but there is a higher probability of parts failure.
