Chris, if your RTR has the gear diff then all you need is the complete B4.1 ball diff
Alternatively some people on here have dremeled the inside of the gearbox casing so that the gear diff fits, if you did that you wouldn't need anything

The chassis is not weak.
If you crash hard a plastic car, it will snap & you go home (who carries a spare chassis? I didn't when I snapped my first B4.1 chassis). If you crash hard an alloy chassis car it will bend but it carries on driving - then you bend it back and carry on racing. The C4.1 is designed to be no compromise for best handling, if you are a beginner (I assume this as you have an RTR and worrying about chassis too weak) and can't take advantage of the handling - just run you RTR, slowly upgrade the RTR to have ball-diff and stuff, then get the C4.1 in a year when your skill justifies the upgrade.

I have just baught a C4.1.
I am not a beginner so not worried about crashing but just wondered if it was a weak point on the car. I got the RTR as it is good value for money and it gets me into the A final most weeks. Cant wait to have a go Thanks Chris.

Im sure you'll love it. But no its not a weak point. The alloy is perhaps one of the reasons it handles so well, if it was stiff or another material it'd likely handle a lot different and worse.

I ran a B4.1 for a year before switching to the C4.1 as I've always stuck with Associated stuff. It was the best move I've ever made.
It's almost worth running the B4.1 for a bit to fully appritiate how much better and easier the C4 .1 is to drive on high grip tracks. Other than the better handling, the conversion makes the back end of the car so much more simple, making it much easier to work on.
