Default EXTENDED B-4 CHASSIS MOD

Todays project, took me 2 1/2 hrs including Taco's from the bus ...


What you need to do ...

1 new T-4 Chassis
1 old broken B-4 chassis or T-4 , Sc10
Dremel with a cut off wheel
a set of caliper's
1 piece of 150G sandpaper
Tire glue
1/4 masking tape
1 pro-line bull dog body (it fits)


Directions


#1 find the two find straight lines going across under the middle of chassis ....


lay a strip of 1/4 masking lap on the outside of the most forward line in the middle of chassis ...


measure from the tape towards the rear of the chassis 11.1m & mark


lay a 2nd piece of 1/4 masking tape on the line you just mark...

cut chassis in half in the middle of the two lines of tape with cut-off wheel.



use the cut-off wheel and sandpaper to grind the extra plastic right to the edge of the tape.



cut the straight sides off of old broken chassis to make L braces & glue all together as seen in pictures below




Very strong & stiff , you will not be able to break it by hand even if you try too.....


Chassis will be 8m longer than the standard B-4 chassis as reported being use by the team at Worlds....


Excuse the hack job craftsmanship...
