Purely based on the look of the countersunk holes I'd say glassfiber. The cut edges and countersunks on a graphite chassis are darker than the ones on black coloured GRP.
The first one is black fiberglass (based on the same observations as mr lexan), and the second one is a combination of carbon outer layers with a fiberglass core. This is very popular from that era. The center layers of a composite offer little strength, so by using a less expensive alternative at the core, (eg. fiberglass) one was able to keep down costs when compared to a solid carbon or graphite piece. While at the same time offering similar physical characteristics (although slightly heavier). -Jeff
Is the YR4 a shorter wheelbase than the YZ870/10 etc. I was looking at getting a new chasis for my 870C from Fibrelyte but they only have the YR4 or the models from approx. 93 onwards. Does anyone know if the YR4 chassis is the exact same size...

To so of you guys this might not be much, but this is an extremely rare chassis. This is an original DELTA chassis for the original Yokomo 834b...... I think you have to into the obscure stuff to really appreciate it, but I was totally BLOWN AWAY...

Hi Jay,
Did you get through to Delta then? Can they help you out with parts?
I emailed a couple of times and got no reply :( , it must be good living in the states and being able to just pick up the phone and call the old manufacturers.
'89 Worlds Masami 4 + 2 Yokomo Chassis.... What is the deal with this sucker?? Does anyone from the forum have one? Are they available ever? Has anyone seen one sold? Does someone have a CAD file so we could get them CNC routered?
