The TIG Welded Aluminium Semi-Monocoque Pace Chassis provides all the drivetrain mount points and mounting points for other major components. The design also maximizes cockpit space and allows for a large range of engine & gearbox combo’s.
Craig and his team at AP have been an outstanding job in designing the chassis.
Everything fits together due to the design work done on a Computer just like all modern car today. And it’s that time taken in the design phase which has put the Pace kit ahead of the rest, IMO…..
My build was only weeks away from delivery when I decided to change the engine to the FPV 5.0 supercharged coyote.
When I rang Craig to tell him about the change his response was “Hell Yeah!!!!” And within a few weeks the chassis was modified to take the new engine and shipped. There would have been no way I could have modified the Chassis the way the Boys at AP did. Plus I can’t weld Aluminium : ((. I’ve been building my kit for about 5 months, only spending around 6 – 8 hours a week on it and it’s almost at the rolling stage. Great Kit, Great Design and heaps of fun to Build.
