Centro C4.1 chassis cuts

[Big G]

Hello

I just picked up this Centro C4.1 in generally very good condition yet it has these strange cuts at the rear of the chassis. They appear to be in the middle perhaps for balancing.

Does anyone have any ideas otherwise? I haven’t seen these cuts in a Centro chassis before.

They were on the Atomic Carbon S2… used to locate the hing pin blocks, could be a really early chassis as that’s that the C4 was based on!

I believe the early chassis were just plain silver and not black but I maybe wrong. I have seen them before on the centro I had. As far as I knew they were there so there was a dead centre marker for setting up on a setup board. At least that is what I was told.

Any idea who’s it might off been originally? The seller said he bought it and didn’t use it before selling it on.

Tom3012 is correct, the holes where used as locators for the original CF hinge pin blocks, that chassis is a bit of a mystery as the prototype chassis's where not anodised. I think that chassis is a pre-production, as the holes where removed for the kit.
