Note that I also developed this brace in cooperation with a Belgian C4.1 driver

It's ok. It's just a test to see if it would work. Im also making carbon side brasing as vell
On friday I sould have my first C4,1 gearbox in carbon fiber ready.

like carpenterdean has done earlier in this thread, all you need is two braces, nothing to complicated, an it also helps protect electrics.

Off coarse if it handles , then tweaked chassy or not, there coming off!!.

let us know what you think about the handling, i honestly didn't notice any difference, but then again i'm just an average joe when it comes to racing, somebody with honed skills may notice.
By the way i prefer your black carbon ones to my G10, ones nice job

Has anybody took their chassis off and checked it with a brand new one? A friend of mine, who has been struggling with a good setup tried changing his chassis for a new one and found the front kick up on the alu chassis was about 5 degrees more, he hasn't had any major crashes and is convinced it must have been like that from new? It's almost like running loads more anti squat/caster on the front, surely it must make the car totally different? Anybody?

The bulkhead that goes on top of it also had the same angle in it, so if your chassis has more kickup, you should have a hard time fitting it all together.

Yes i had this problem, changed chassis twice. I now have the Cougar sv2 and it is much better!

I'll have to own up and join the bent chassis club (so to speak!). Here's my effort:



Full speed at the end of the straight, I think I got what I deserved. Quite happy with it myself anyway haha

Well, I was hugely impressed with the Rudebits chassis after running it on Sunday at Arena X. To be only a lap down on the top boys with an unknown and untried car, and finish third in the A final speaks volumes. It took all the abuse I could muster and shrugged it off!

Now, if I can just get it to work at Worksop next week.... ;-)


cheers
