B4 chassis

[frogger]

I just got my Factory Team B4 and it seems it has come with a graphite chassis. I assume it's one of the older kits as I was told the newer B4 FT kits come with a plastic chassis as the team drivers prefer it. Will it be worth buying a plastic chassis to build the car up with that or should I just go with the graphite one?

Any other build tips to look out for?

Thanks!

Hmm, my B4 was carbon, and the AE site says this Frogger - The B4 Factory Team features all molded carbon components including the chassis, front and rear shock towers, front and rear A-Arms, chassis brace, and top plate. The battery strap is made of woven carbon fiber, and comes with a chrome/black "AE Factory Team" sticker.

id say stick with the carbon one..on low grip tracks it could be a good ide to use plastic.

do your boxes have Neil Craggs car on the front?

a plastic chassis would help make the car safe, but to get you up and running just build the car and get some track time with it - see how you like it then.

Well I couldn't wait so the car is now built up

No idea if it's Neil's car on the front. All I need now is my electrics then this puppy will be running.

Hey Carl

How about Eden Park on Sunday? There should be lots of people there to help with your B4 should you need it.
