Gotcha.
I'm just worried not being up to date like the rest of the slot world.
The illegal post in capital letters scared me.

I understand what you're saying.
And – technically – by the letter of the current rules (from 2007 really) – it is illegal because it's over 3.25". But like I said ... give Jay and the rest of the BoD a chance to get it right.
From talking with a couple of the BoDs and other racers at Pinellas Park, I think the consensus was to find a way to make it legal.
If nobody had ever stopped to measure the Defender, I might have never known that the rest of the world moved to 83mm. See, my fifth grade teacher was right, we're all headed toward the metric system. 
By the way, I'm not sure that the new Defender has made it through the USRA or ISRA approval process yet either. I'm sure it will be approved as I don't really see a reason it wouldn't. But you and I both know that I have been wrong before and will be wrong again. So in a crazy, almost-never-happens kind of way, Florida might be ahead of the curve with approval since it has been used in the May and June races.

I believe the USRA hasn't approved the Defender or the C43.
Yet. ☺

83 mm = 3.267 inches.
No one should get their panties in a twist over 12 thousandths of an inch.

I said yet.
It is cool to have choices. Reminds me of when a couple of Holy Hell Florida guys took JK Cheetah 7s to the Nats when the rest of the world was running the Champion Turbo-Flex chassis.

Thank you, Marcus!.
The two-piece aluminum pans from your personal stash ended up on my race car.
Even TonyP will like the new chassis ha-ha.
Mossetti Defender all the way!
