ag ja TOP heeft het nu zelf ook al op internet gezet en vandaag of morgen komen de foto's online.
Hier is de nieuwe TOP Photon.
Dit is wel een design wat anders is dan andere.

O en dit is wat Josh er over zecht.

Yes, there will be a 5-cell chassis. So with using the standard chassis you will have options for forward/middle/back battery position with the 5-cell or 6-cell chassis.
A lot of work went into the plastics on the car. Honestly, this was a big worry of ours being our first project but so far everything has been great and I am extremely happy with the plastics that will come in the kit.
The ball cups are open on the top to allow for a 3mm wrench to access the ball studs. They are directional though so they can not pop down over the ball stud and bind the suspension (a problem especially with the front shocks on a foam tire car).
"Stealthy" is on the old TOP Racing decal sheets. I don't even know what it's from...lol...
Yes, the camber links do have a screw through the graphite like the 415 was but the reason was to give everyone a wide range of adjustment so we could really learn and do more than any other car out there. From the set-ups I have run with the car, you can use a M3 nut (locking or non) to hold the screw in place for easier RC adjustments. Keep in mind, a lot of this car is super low compared to other cars out there.
When you think about the towers - Normally you have a tower screwed to two seperate aluminum parts that are then fastened to the bulkheads. With this, we have the towers straight on the bulkheads (4 less screws and 2 less parts) so there is less chance of tweaking and tower movement. Also, with the sway bar mounts, it really makes the towers very strong and solid. I've worked on the car now for a few months and have never had a tower tweak the car.
As far as the Lipo weights, everyone has a preference. When you look at the club racers, if they have a few different packs it's expensive to buy or hard to make parts to stick to each pack to balance the car like you speak of. Also, you have to keep in mind that the Photon's motor vs. battery is only 17.75mm a part where most other cars out are 20-23mm. This means we can easily afford to use the lipo tray to balance the car and still have good balance. To show that this has worked correctly, the car has had slightly more markings from dragging the track on the outside (high speed corners at the end of the straight) but over all the markings (easy to see with foam) are very balanced and equal. The car does not drive tweaked and the traction left/right is very balanced. Also, with this we can use minimal weight to balance the car and then the remaining weight is placed down the center.
Beserco - Again - I am not in charge of press release or releases to the public. My job is as a driver and engineer so please don't assume that I have control over this area. When management at TOP is ready to release official information then they will do so but that is not my department. As far as the bulkheads, they are actually a lot shorter than you think. Again, with the style and shape of the car it really gives to a lot of misconceptions. When you can set it on a bench next to another car you get a whole new perspective on the car. If I remember right, the Mi3 also has 6mm bulkheads that were super stiff, long and heavy with a high CG and a really short center top deck. We made the top deck as long as possible and allowed for additional flex tuning at each end of the car which definatly changes the car with the adding or removing the standoffs, the weight is super low and the car is underweight in all forms of racing - as much as 100grams depending on rules and tires (foam/rubber) so again, drawing conclusions from a simple image does the car no justice as it really is a completely different car than anything out there. Yes, there are similarities but there is so much in the details that it's not just another copy of whatever....
had geen zin om het te vertalen maar lijkt mij niet nodig.
aantal van zijn andwoorden zijn reacties op eerder gestelde vragen in het forum maar volgens mij is het zo wel duidelijk wat hij te vertelen heeft.
