Can anyone confirm that the B4.1+8mm chassis is just the same as the T4 chassis ? Seems that the T4 could be a cheaper alternative ?
Thanks
No, the T4 chassis is longer again.
From the info I can find it's about 25mm longer then the original B4 chassis, so still a fair bit longer then the +8mm B4 chassis.

Before the +8mm chassis was available, I ran a T4 chassis on my B4.1 and quite liked it.
Regarding bodyshell, I used the FTW bodyshell which is specifically moulded for a B4 with T4 chassis on - so no problem.
Edit: see pic in my Avatar - thats the lengthy victim.
I'm gonna try this car myself come spring. Looks awesome on track! :thumbsup:
I've heard though that it works best when grip levels are not that high (stable).

Thanks Chris.... That certainly looks interesting, if a little long !:blush::blush::blush:.....nice to know that the FTW body fits..I thought that their XL version was for the +8mm chassis..
Might try it if one comes up before the 8mm chassis....

Me too! Going for a centro style epoxy chassis this season though.
The wheelbase for an original B4 is 273, a worlds 281 and a T4mod is 288 to be exact.

The BRCA max length is 460mm, including bumper...
I managed to pick up a +8mm worlds chassis cheap. :) so have now fitted that
and will try this weekend..
Seems the best way to go ...

I was tempted to try it (for 20 quid, why not!), but decided to buy another car instead!
