Re: Unknow 4WD chassis
I just want to see how many other people are going to say it's a LWB Optima Mid Chassis
At this point I am just not 100%certain.





I am not here cause I am playing photographer and on my mountain bike.

It did, yes, and you're right.
But just for me: why LWB not SWB? Were all optional/standard black FRP chassis LWB?

I guess we have moved towards the next question already: 'which make?'.I just want to see how many other people are going to say it's a LWB Optima Mid Chassis At this point I am just not 100%certain.

Re: Unknow 4WD chassis
I can tell you this much, they are uni top carbon, with a layer of fiberglass in the middle. Not like CC though--and for all my carbon experience--I'd swear they were actual graphite laminate

Re: Unknow 4WD chassis
Top one is a SWB Optima MId. The later is a LWB optima mid. I am thinking maybe BRP chassis (can't find pics though). I have a LWB JG and it is defianatley different than that. -Jeff
