D413 Stretch Carbon Chassis Set
#SCH1100, $85
The Schelle D413 Stretch Chassis Set is now available for customers. After watching the D413 in the hands of several locals as well as Schelle team drivers, the ROAR Champion car received great reviews and praise. The keen eye of chief engineer Kurt Wenger observed that a lengthened wheelbase could improve the car even more. The D413 in kit chassis length pitches very quickly front to rear when entering and exiting turns. Drivers are also aware that in shorty configuration the D413 can struggle with exaggerated throttle response in the air.
The +4mm longer wheelbase of the stretch chassis gives the car a longer footprint, reducing the pitching weight transfer that can cause the car to “3 wheel” and pick up a rear tire in the turns. Also in the air, the car with the longer chassis is less sensitive. All in all, test drivers reported that the car was easier to control and drive hard without getting upset on braking, turn-in, or corner exit. Jumping landings into turns are easier to control as well.
In addition, on medium to large tracks, drivers will see more consistent lap times as the longer wheelbase is smoother and more stable in high-speed sweepers. The Schelle chassis set will be an advantage for larger track sizes and as grip increases (grooved, carpet, and sugar). The chassis is offered in premium carbon fiber material to keep the running weight near 1700 grams to take advantage of the lightweight “shorty” configuration.
The Schelle D413 Stretch Chassis kit is designed to fit kit and aftermarket bodies and body mount holes, with only slight trimming needed on the nose cone.
D413 Stretch Chassis Set:
- +4mm extended length with +4mm Front Top Deck.
- Premium 2.5mm Carbon Fiber, CNC routed, made in the USA.
- Fits all kit and aftermarket D413 bodies.
- Schelle D413 Chassis Protector (by UpGrade RC) included
- Includes chassis, front top deck, instruction, chassis protector, O-ring dogbone spacers, Schelle mini decal.
B44.3 -3mm Aluminum Chassis Set
#SCH1045, $85
Pre-Orders open! Schelle Chief Engineer Kurt Wenger took the lessons learned from the B44.2 Shorty Conversion and applied them to the newest Associated 4wd platform. After testing the kit B44.3 with the team, Kurt noticed several trouble areas that drivers were experiencing in the corners. The Schelle 44.3 was developed to transform the B44.3 in shorty configuration. The reduced length has 2 main effects, the first is that the car is much more fluid and easy to drive in the turns. The combined shorter wheelbase and increased rear weight bias stop the rear and front from fighting each other in the turns, and the car will follow a smooth arc without breaking loose. Secondly, the short wheelbase and increased weight bias aid in more traction on power and exiting corners. After getting through the turn, it's easier to pick your line on exit and put the power down.
B44.3 -3mm Aluminum Chassis Set includes:
- 3mm 7075 Aluminum Chassis Plate
- 3mm 2.5mm Carbon Front Top Deck
- Schelle 44.2/44.3 Chassis Protector
