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!
The photo above w/ the Power Stroke shocks is an FT T4. The carbon as you said is more of a charcoal gray. The arms on mine however have been switched to RPMs.. Why would they release the T4.1 in plastic? Wouldn't that be reversing technology? Anyway, you can still get the carbon chassis separate.
