Notes:
Natanaele is running a number of parts from his own brand Senesi Motorsport including a 3mm Aluminium chassis that allows him to run the drive train in a straight line which in turn makes the car more stable due to better weight distribution.  The carbon fibre radio plate is also his design being lighter and more rigid than the standard version.  The rear body stiffener, rear diff finger cover, anti tuck side supports for the body are all 3D printed from Senesi Motorsport.

Notes:
Gruber’s example of the X3GTS is fitted with self designed rear shock tower that he had machined by a friend.  The design helps to lower the car’s centre of gravity.

Chassis Focus – Michael Kocher (Raptor)

Chassis: Raptor
Engine: Ielasi Tuned GP5R 2022
Radio: Sanwa Exzes ZZ
Servos (Steering/Throttle): Bluebird BLS34/BLS27
Body: Blitz GT6
Tires (handout): PMT Q3
Fuel (handout): Runner Time 16%

Notes:
The Raptor is a collaboration between of Swiss racer Michael Kocher and Italian designer Andrea Contarini and came about because he wanted to race something different so they created their own car.  Started in 2020, an electric version of the car is offered sale but the nitro version is more a personal project.  Due to the limited production run of the car, Michael says they have opted to use diffs from Team Associated, shocks from Serpent and the 2 speed gearbox from Capricorn.  Since the initial design they have worked on a new chassis plate for better weight distribution on the nitro car but the front and rear end remain unchanged.
