JQ OPTION PARTS AND ALL NEW CHASSIS;






I was very lucky to be given the oppurtunity to try the new chassis along with the option parts, i mounted it on to my 477 kit which was a bit of a struggle and some fiddling to be had but once it was done it was now time to go and test this bit of sleek ,sexy, kit; With a bit of dremmeling and cutting the my new 477 bodyshell to make a best fit as we could it was of for some serious testing .Roll on when the new shells arrive as make life a little easier but we managed to convert the 477 shell to fit ;

I went to Slough G/P for 3 days on dirt with Dave Griffiths GB MODELSPORT and wanted to have some quality time on the dirt track to prove what this chassis was capabale of.I had previously been there with my 477 on the normal chassis so this was time to tell how the all new chassis comapred with the old one;

My first impression of the chassis was because it is wider than the 477 it has given the car alot more stability and i feel it has made the car alot easier to drive and feel it has taken alot of agreession away from it ,it has also given the car alot more traction which i felt you could put more power down in and out of the corners and the car would be stable in fact it is more like super glued to the track ;
The chassis also gave me alot more stability that i was looking for over the jumps and landings hence i am a female driver so need this stability once i am air born the way the car jumps and stabilizes itself through the take of airborn and landing is incredable, some of the manouvers i got myself out of was fantastic that i could have never done with the original 477 chassis;

The whole chassis just makes the car alot easier to drive ,more stable and makes me want to push even harder than i have ever done before as i feel this new chassis will allow you to do this and give you so much more back in return;


As for the option part steering well it is amazing i have mine set on the middle which is about average and find this setting more than enough i feel the old school ackerman plate is a great accent to the car and i find it that it gives you more rapid steering but on a slower pace which again this enables the car to overall more stabilized. I found that the you can push the car into corners more but the stability of the steering also gives me the stability that i am after on high power cornering ;

The whole car has a adverse definate reaction from me and could not have wished for a better team to help me than Dave Griffiths GB Modelsport giving me the oppurtunity to try the new chassis,JQ Team for the help and advice on to how to push the car forward more and my driving;

Joseph & Ilias for making this at all possible for TEAM JQ back her in the U.K
