Before the Durango team guys were designing and building their DEX210 in 2wd, they were running B4s like this with a Gerd Strenge-machined billet aluminum chassis made for 3x3 NiMh or saddle LiPos. This was the last car he made before transitioning to the new car design.
Supposedly, it's wicked on high bite tracks like Astroturf, and a bit twitchy on looser tracks, but I still maintain that a race chassis should be stiff and then point the finger at the shocks—and not use a flexible chassis to put a Band-Aid on poor suspension performance.
It has been on a shelf in my shop since I got it, and I'm not too sure what I am going to do with it. I have thought about having the chassis hard anodized to match the DEX410 look and acquire Durango shocks for it, but we'll see. It
does already have a planetary gear diff like it's big brother, though.
