B3 rear chassis plate

[Elliott Hopkins]

Hello,

I've just e-mailed this to AE, but I hope someone here can help:

'What is the difference in the 9241 rear chassis plate for the B3 buggy and the previous version for the B2? I thought I had up graded my B2 fully, but according to the new 9267 rear suspension mounts that I purchased after I broke the last set, the chassis plate was revised. How will this revision affect the geometry? Do I need to get a new plate to keep the geometry?'


It's an absolutely obscure question, but I don't want to running 4° toe in if I can help it.

Looking at pictures on Tower Hobbies, it looks like the sides are cut away, but if the mount holes for the suspension mounts have moved, my toe in will be squiffy.

Ta dudes.

Elliott.

It's exactly the same geometry I think, it just has bigger holes for the suspention mounts as the B3 ones use bigger diameter screws than the B2 ones.

Ah, I noticed the screws were thicker. Thankyou Richard.

If my memory serves me right, the B2 had outboard toe-in, while the B3 has inboard toe-in. This means the outer hubs and A-arms supports are diffferent. The geometry of the alu rear chassis plate is the same appart from the screws.

The changes in the rear drivetrain made the B3 a much easier car to drive.

Thankyou Stefke.

Steke, for the RC10 (tub) there were hubs availible at an angle, for both the B2 and B3 the outsidehubs were 0 deg. But there are some aftermarket companies who made hub at an angle.

And like others said, the B2 and B3 plates are the same geometry wise. Just the holes and the extra motor protection are different.
