I also heard that all FT T4 kits had the carbon chassis, and the switch to plastic only happened with the T4.1 kits. My T4 chassis is very different from my T4.1 chassis, it's more of a charcoal/grey color and you can really see the fibers in the mold. However, it looks almost identical to my friends 8 year old T4 with a plastic chassis. The box makes no mention of carbon parts, but the instructions do - and the AE website mentions carbon parts (in the discontinued section). Any way to tell the difference, or do all FT T4 kits have the carbon parts? Thanks!
My FT T4 had a carbon chassis and from the discription it sounds like yours also does. The lighter gray was always the give away. I am sure someone more experianced will also chime in if I am wrong

(it does happen ... alot

)
