CSO Super-V3 flexible chassis conversion kit

CSO introduce the Super-V3 flexible chassis conversion kit for the CSO-One, Team C TC10 and the Xray T4 and T4’2104. The integral part of the kit is the redesigned motor and layshaft mount that now mounts directly on the centre line of the chassis resulting in more equal left-to-right chassis flex. The updated layshaft mount sports mounting holes to connect the upper deck with the mount which helps on very high grip surfaces. An additional upper deck post can be added on front of the motor, again located directly on the chassis’ centre line. It is understood that the conversion kit includes a new chassis and topdeck as well as the motor and layshaft mount along a set of aluminium centre pulleys. There will also be a version that additionally includes front and rear aluminium suspension mounts.
