C4.1 Type 'R' Chassis from Rudebits

[jimmy]

"A carbon fibre chassis for the C4.1 with an added twist"
Rudebits sent news of their new chassis and accessories for the hugely successful CML C4.1 2WD buggy conversion for the Associated B4.1

The 'Type R' chassis features countersunk pockets to accommodate adjustable brass weights for extra tuning - all seperately available from RudeBits.
The weights don't have to be used and Rudebits also have another version of the chassis called the "Type S" - that simply hasn't got the countersunk pockets.

• Made from special 2.8mm carbon and designed to be flexible without the risk of tweaking.
  
  
• Chamfered rear section for clearance of the wishbones as well as clearance for the gearbox and motor
  
  
• Front kick up all built in to the carbon fibre
  
  
• A sexy looking chassis for the elite amongst you.

Tony from RudeBits says he wants to give racers this high grade option and these chassis are by special order, with a turnaround of around a week.

Looks very very nice almost to nice lol.
I am probly going to catch some flak for this but back in the late 80s early90s AE came out with the RC10 team car in black alluminum and flat carbon, i bought the ally car and my racing partner bought the carbon the ally car was much easier to drive fast, more forgiving. ( still have a black tub team car)
He tried for a whole season and could not get it to be faster than mine and he was a faster driver (not by much).
That looks like a very sweet piece but i will stick with my alluminum chassis thankyou.

I won't be changing without good reason - and the C4.1 as it is handles awesome... So would be interesting to hear from somebody unbiased either way, how it effects the handling of the car. As the flex properties of CF is miles different to Alloy, also one batch of CF can be very different to the next, whereas Alloy is consistent. Didn't Tom Yardy test CF before going to Alloy and favour Alloy? - hence the kit chassis is Alloy.

Noticed in the photos, holes in chassis to mount servo, but no holes in the brass which covers those holes.... must be prototype in the photos.
