This is my all new project. I looked at the bulky evolution chassis in disgust. Why should xmods be burdened with a ugly, bulky chassis? My new project is to make a lightweight, clear, and very fuctional lithium chassis. The advantages include better cooling, more power because of li-ions, better handling because the cells will be mounted sideways and towards the rear, and ultimate sexyness. Pics so far:

THis is gonna be really cool. The evo chassis is really heavy and ugly. Sounds very cool. The bottom plate looks a little to small, In my opinion but this is going to be an awsome project. Waht is the chassis going to be made out of?

yeah this will be a RWD chassis. I can make it RWD also. The whole thing will be made out of plexiglass. These cardboard peices are just templates. I'm thinking monsterhunter will get the first prototype chassis. Sure the stock chassis isn't heavy, but this will be lighter and every little bit of lightness counts on cars this small. Also, i'm planning to sell this in my shop if it works.
