Sorry....I missunderstood your question the first time.

The T4 has more room for gearing with a larger adjustment on the motor it seems. I was able to run a 104 in stock blinky class. Which I couldnt do before.

Does anyone know when the T4 will be in the states? Seems like it is taking awhile but I am impatient.

I always liked the green zap a gap for chassis. That was a while ago though. I need to get some so when the kits finally arrive some year, I'll be ready to go.

Maybe I should wait though. The glue might harden in the bottle before the kits arrive

I sand the edge with 400-600 grid sandpaper and then apply a layer of CA glue with a cotton swab. I soak it with CA and then apply it to the chassis. You'll have to use a few cotton swabs, because they harden after a 10-15 seconds because of the glue.

An easier method for the chassis if you want a nice black matte finish on the edges is to use blue loctite. Wipe it on and then wipe off the excess.

That would not seal the edges.

What us the reason to seal the edges of the carbon? I haven't done it to my Sakura top deck and its still perfectly fine.

Sanding and sealing the edges helps prevent chassis delamination in a crash. It's not a 100% solution but it helps. At least that's what I've always been told (and read).
