Neil Cragg and Paul Bradby to Use RudeBits C4.1 Chassis

[RudeTony]

We are happy to announce the following news

http://www.rcracer.com/off-road-electric-articles-112/3983-rudebits-c41-chassis-for-cragg-and-bradby

The 2011 BRCA 2WD National Champion and runner-up have confirmed that they will be using the new 3.2mm thick carbon fibre chassis on their Centro C4.1 cars. Neil Cragg and Paul Bradby dominated the 2011 series with their Centro conversions for the Team Associated B4.1 and will be using the RudeBits carbon fibre chassis starting with the second round of the 2012 series at Robin Hood Raceway next weekend.

The new chassis shown here has been tweaked and refined and is now made from high-quality 3.2mm thick carbon fibre and retains the 30-degree kick-up, chamfering for the wishbone clearance and milled out slot for the motor. It weighs in 80g lighter than a standard chassis allowing optional weight to be placed where needed...... all this adding up to being better over bumps, jumps and allowing just enough flex without distortion.

To be honest Tony's a really nice guy, he does on occasion voice his opinion as we all do. Tony's a great ambassador for the hobby, and it'll be a worse place without him, well it would be for all you C4.1 owners!

We also all post threads on the heat of the moment that people can at times take offence to. Tony's thread is no real big deal, it just makes forums like oople great.

Indeed, i am sorry about that, i might introduce myself soon. I have got one of your chassis for myself, should get here on monday i hope, i am not flaming, just asking.

[RudeTony]

Sorry, don't know your name. Do you have the NEW 3.2mm chassis as designed for Neil and Paul or the original with pockets?

Gaz, Stu, Mark and others, I only state facts Gents.
When you are a superstar driver like Neil, sometimes decisions are made whether a particular part is used at certain meetings for whatever reason, its not relevant to the facts at the time of posting some news.

By the way, Danny McGee is also now running the chassis and once he put it on his car for the finals, he was lapping in the top 3 lap times of the day. Like I said earlier, just facts at the time of posting

Handling characteristics of the different chassis' aside, Nicmo made a valid point.

It shouldn't matter how long he's been a member of oople for, whether he has introduced himself or not, or even what his name is.

Personally, i felt the response made towards him was rude and unwelcoming.

I have read this several times and fail to see how this is being rude.
