  Hard to say, these are the spy pix from the Shizouka Hobby show.
  
  Looks like the chassis molding is new, even the battery clips are new. Maybe the shocker is included?
  
  No idea if the electronics have been updated too… but the F1’s “brake” ESC would be nice. 🙂

  Batteries are now flat accross the chassis.
  Centre shock is standard.
  Front Suspension is different, but the picture is not clear.
  Good to see that is appears you can use the current ball diff setup.
  Looks like the whole chassis has been designed to lower the centre of gravity.
  
  I heard about this chassis when I was in Japan recently.

  Looks like all the current hardware upgrades should still work… springs, extra shocks etc.

  It moves the weight forward and balances the car, so it wont oversteer or spin out as easily.

  I am very interested in these, my BIG question is will all my expensive parts be compatible with this chassis??? I very much doubt kyosho would change their whole line of hop ups for a new chassis.
