Default Longer B4.1??? T4.1 Chassis?

Did I miss somethnig here????

Following the news of a new body that Jimmy posted, people have tried the T4.1 chassis with all the standard B4.1 parts? This is news to me! (unless I've been under my stone!!!!)

So, anyone of here got any further pictures/info or even the part numbers needed?

Neil

I've not tried it outdoors but indoors it wasn't much good, it felt really lazy and once the back let go it was going round no matter what

It also had a lot less traction in general, I started the night with it thinking it was just the floor that was slippy that day but after changing back after a couple of rounds the standard B.1 chassis gave the car all it's grip back.

Funny thing is even with the truck chassis on the 22 is still a good 5mm longer

Hey Rich, I made me a longer chassis myself (10-12mm longer) from 2 old chassis, and found the same thing as you. Lazy car, and this was on an indoor astro track. It was kinda stable though until a certain point, but really not faster.

b4.1 is good enough as it is :-)

Will the AE guys run the c4.1 in Pau :-), or only on astro tracks? :-)
