Hand on heart, do you think the C4.1 chassis / material is up to the job given how much hammer these things get ?
Are you going to make a front brace ?
I'm still undecided, being looking at pictures to see if I could make a top deck / brace |
Yup, broke one after another at first two meetings, then another a few meetings later! Ive never before broken a chassis ever ever ever! The first one was due to a foot on the straight I hit flatout, but after that I have no idea, just taken front bumper off and plastic fallen out.. So I went to a T4 chassis (yes very long), original material not .1... had a B4.1 chassis back on for round 1 of Chadderton, it was new and it survived.
Yesterday I bounced off the wall atleast 4 times... and I was hitting the jump rythem section fully committed... the car took a beating mate and survived. Jimmy's ruler found a slight bend, I didn't feel it on the track, I finished every run, and the bend was put straight with literally a 5 second bend across my own knee.... I consider that a result, as I would have been carrying my B4.1 home in shards of plastic but the C4.1 finished every run unaffected!!!
