New TRF 416 chassis parts
February 25, 2008
The new main chassis plates and and top decks arrived and have been tested for torsional stiffness. The test was a simple arrangement just to get some information about the stiffness of diffrent carbon fibre materials. Here are the results:
Supertec 5 cell 2 mm main chassis - 6 % stiffer than the standard 416 chassis (both new, never run)
Supertec 2 mm CRP top deck - 7,5 % softer than standard 416 top deck
Supertec 2 mm Carbon fibre top deck - 22 % stiffer
Supertec 2,3 mm Carbon fibre top deck - 46 % stiffer
Soon these parts will be track tested.
