Looks really nice but what we want is a new B4.1..... Hopefully they bring out a new 2WD in the next few months.

Thanks.

No... the REAL question is will a +8mm chassis make everyone from Craggy, Bradders, and BJ all the way down to me quicker? Possibly (although I doubt it) but I'm not willing to spend the best part of £300 to find out

Please read my question again, I did not ask if it would make them quicker I asked if the UK Team are going to be using this car?

Thanks.

I would be surprised if any of them don't use it as the longer chassis and other additions will help it on the high grip national tracks

Will it tho? I thought the idea of a longer chassis was for tracks with less grip? Is'nt that why the longer chassis' were brought out for the worlds etc?

Also, having tried both i am not yet convinced with big bores. Certainly not on our tracks.

Fitted the big bores to my B44.1 last night. Haven't run it yet, but they feel really nice on the bench. The V2 shocks I removed which I thought were spot on felt horrible lol.

Probably new toys syndrome though

Talking B44.2
Guys

This happens with all new cars - why slag it off before we see what it can do.

Under no illusion that there will be issues but thats what optional parts are for.

Dont need to analyse the price either buy it or dont

But think most of the top guys will run it so setups etc will be available where as the older versions you will have to sort out yourselves

Disagree

Lwb means:-
More rear traction
More stability in high speed corners
Slower turn in
Better stability in corners
Better over jumps
And so on!
