B4 Cragg Edition

[coolcars782]

So whats all this about the 'B4 Cragg Edition' Loads of people at my club have been talking about it but i have looked on the internet and i cant see anything Its between the stealth and the factory team editions, plastic parts with upgrades

Carl

[NeilD]

Isn't it an FT with a plastic chassis?

[coolcars782]

Yeah, but its a kit you can buy, soon?

Carl

its the current factory team b4.they changed the chassis from carbon to plastic.not sure they may have changed the rear hubs to b44 ones,maybe someone else could clear that up.it has a picture of neil craggs car on the box to distinguish it from earlier b4 ft's

[tony6187]

its been on sale a while

[coolcars782]

Plus where can i find it on the internet, i have looked, but nothing

Carl

[NeilD]

I'm pretty certain it does have the B44 rr hubs. Most stores will be selling it just make sure it has Neil's car on the box mate.

[coolcars782]

Well i am down in somerset and the only model shp near by is 30 miles away in exeter and only does planes :/

So it has to be on the internet

Carl

[NeilD]

I'll try to find you a link to a shop selling it.

[NeilD]

6 years is a good innings mate. It's definitely time for a new one. Let us all know if you get one.

There is a b5 looming, I think there trying to sell the rest of the b4 stock off.

OK, to clarify.

B4 "Cragg Kits" are also known as "black box" kits or maybe even "Made in China" kits

It is the FT kit, same part number, but comes in a black box with a picture of Neil Cragg's worlds winning car (2005?) on the front, and a picture of Neil Cragg himself on the side. It still has the same part number (#9035).

The most significant difference between the new and old kits is that the "Cragg" kit has the slightly softer "plastic" chassis rather than the original "carbon" chassis - this is what the "team" prefer. My kit also came with #1 pistons all round (instead of a #2/#1 split) and a slightly different selection of body clips (which didn't fit in the holes they were supposed to!).

Unless there has been a running change in the kits since I got mine 6 months ago (unlikely), the car does not come with B44 hubs.

The other thing to note is that the kits are now being made in China since the Thunder Tiger takeover. The finish of the Chinese-made parts is worse than the old American made parts, materials seem to be a little different too.

The "Cragg" kits have been out for a while now (couple of years maybe), so most shops with a good turnover of stock should have them in stock. I got mine from MK Racing - good service. If in doubt, ask whether the box is black and whether the car on the front has a red/white/yellow paintjob.

Hope this helps.
