IK, i new i couldve done a better job with better material, the cut is perfect, braces not. I will try some carbon fiber if i cant find, ill try thin high grade aluminum my dad has and I will screw that sucker in. Also will use epoxy. Thanks for the suggestions!

Definately considering running LRP SXX V2 and Orion Motors. Where is a good place to purchase these with reasonable prices?

I got the longer braces on the inside, guess hard to see in pic cause the electronics. I was going add some CF braces to the outter though soon. It's held up for practice 2 heats and a main so far as is. Chassis is even too. Measured from servo screws to tail and both side measured same.

im trying again with expoxy, its clamped together now. I am going to screw the outer braces in and expoxy those. The inner i will try to find screws tthat are short enough. I am using part of an old thick chassis.

Thanks!
At this time you can only purchase the standard T4 chassis. It is a running change and to the part number and they have to get rid of the backstock before offering the t4.1 chassis. I was told that the team is running the original chassis as well because that is what they had in stock.

There has been no talk of a 'new' buggy.
