So i was reading the Hara guide(a pain cuz its in japanese) I noticed he didn't sand down the sides and just CA glued the chassis, is sanding necessary? Also he used a dremel to take away parts of the carbon fibre near the belt, I don't have a dremel, any other ways i can do it? Or is it really necessary? Thanks guys

Here's the translated version... but it's only marginally better...

You dont have to bother sanding down the side but its better for the chassis if you round of the bottom edge.

You do need to file down the battery slots and also the slots where the tape goes through (or at least the side of the tape slots where the tape wraps around ie. the bottom of the chassis on the edge closest to where the batteries sit, otherwise the tape will tear on the sharp carbon fibre edge in crashes)

Cyclone Charlie

Using locktite sparingly means you only want it to be on the metal threaded areas and not running to places it shouldn't. I accidently used to much on the CV's and after it dried the CV wouldn't pivot. You only locktite the areas that are labeled to use it in the assembly manual. You also never use locktite on anything other than metal to metal fasteners.

Yub, yub, cmdr!

Do you use just normal sandpaper to sand the battery slots and chassis?

Building an under body aero kit for my wce cyclone.1mm carbon kevlar
It will go from the bumper, under swingarms to 1" past rear chassie, and out to the sides of body shell with just enough cut out for tyres....
at the rear it will have a kick up, just like a real underbody kit would.
This will mount on the top of chasie. in two halfs left and right. after proto type is made i can vaccum form more from plastic....

Any comments as to the benifit of underbody kit welcome
looking for down force,,and or wank factor

sosidge

Interesting project, and interesting to see whether there is actually much downforce to be gained from running it (I assume it will seal with the lexan bodyshell?).

Only think I would watch out for is the rulebook, I know that BRCA rules prohibit underbody aero aids, so may also be the case with your rules.

You should refer to your manual to confirm the parts:

The brace should be the same as the Pro 4
HPI Graphite Bumper Brace 73086
Or you can get a plastic bumper brace which comes on this Pro 4 Parts tree
HPI Bumper/Body Post set for RS4 Pro 4 73513.
I cracked mine after a few runs so i never bothered replacing it, i dont know how strong other people find the carbon fibre bumper brace

HPI Precut Foam Bumper 6274

Bottom Deck / Main Chassis 70728
Top Deck 70729
