Has anyone compared the new 2016 chassis with the 2014 chassis? will it fit a 2014? Thanks.

Nope 16 motor mount has changed bolt holes at the rear.

Here is final2, leader checks out, I was a few 10's off their pace anyway the best of the rest really, Just held off Alex the National champion in the class who came back from nearly a lap down as my car faded badly towards the end of the run.

about 15 years, I feel old now
I had to stop for a few years due to medical reasons I couldn't do it full time, which is why I started RC again, but I am now all fixed which is why I am RC retired, back to full time rally this year.

It's very rare to fully retire from RC, people just go away for awhile

this is very true, which is I think the reason why there is a new 16 sitting on my desk....

Just the 4.2 for FF, allows you to add some arm sweep.
