Default Carbon Fiber Progress

Well the 2013 Progress has arrived
The chassis has improved upper link adjustments,
each chassis has been designed by a RCP Team Driver.

The Progress II ZoSo, weights the most, at 12 grams a plate.
this chassis can be used as a bodiless chassis (cuz it over 8" long)

The newest Progress chassis is the Chad Miller.
Chad has been kicking butt with his original Progress
for quite awhile now. So I took his adjustable arm locations
and cut it out of carbon fiber, his is the lightest plate at 7 grams.

I'm waiting on some spacers to be delivered, so I can package
them up and get them on the website.


here's a photo of the plates:

I took the measurements from Chad's rig
I don't know what shocks he runs... but it does sit low
because the original Progress had adjustable arms
it created a lot of different set-ups
I'll get specs and photos from each team driver.

The Progress II is very close to III & V (just longer to run bodiless)
I had a couple requests to move the upper link positions directly above the lower link postions (Progress IV & VI)

Chad kicked butt again....we had a comp at The Spot
great courses
he runs 4" shocks up front and 3.5" in the rear
I may have to try his set-up...it sits low, but crawls great.
