54mm would means that there is no thread left on the lower part of the piston?

Default 419X WS chassis

Is there a good chance that the 419X WS spec chassis and top deck will be available as separate items at the same time that the kit is released (April 29th)?

I am planning on buying the WS chassis and top deck anyway when they are available, but my 419X chassis has recently suffered some delamination on the front edge. I don't want to buy a replacement carbon chassis if the alloy one is only a few weeks away from release...

Sorry misread that. I would expect they would be available separately, but when is a good question.

Hi guys,

Just to report from the weekend !
I managed to be A4 in Mibosport last indoor event. (Lrp stock -17.5)
Car was great, podium was close but still i need to practice to find best setup in black carpet. it was the 3rd experience only for me. Very happy with the improvement, B3, A6, and now A4.
Btw - Last final race was very promising - i did shock change for it- when i ended up in 2nd with big fights with 3rd through the 5 minute race. Top cars the orange ones but I am getting close and waiting for the alu chassis to close the gap.

Later i will post my setup.
Cheers
Marton

...so I had spare parts laying around and thought I'd modify my TRF419 a bit for 17.5 class. Going to get a friend to cut a new top deck or maybe just redesign the motor plate might be easier.

Nice swap. This could be the next TRF420.

Have you made any mods to the chassis plate? Screw holes etc.?
