would it be possible to get a slightly longer chassis to get a 282mm axle to axle wheelbase?

Certainly. How much longer chassis should be compared to standard lenght ASC9200 ?
What is official wheelbase of B2/B3 ? 267mm ?

If you could get one to come out close to a B4 with the +8mm chassis would be great. I'm currently testing a B3 with a T3 chassis and it has promise, but it's just a tad too long though.

I will stack my B4.1 Worlds together - then we will see the difference.
If someone knows precise numbers, please let me know.

Thanks.
Any machine shop or person who can mill carbon fiber sheets.
You just have to download drawing files you like (wheelbase) from the first post and send them (PDF and DXF) to your chosen manufacturer. Drawings are free.

First five hours of drive testing is now done. Some really hard roll overs but chassis and bulkheads held up nicely. More I was afraid of the original B2 front arms.

At first car was too edgy and had no rear grip, maybe because of last season minipins. I just lowered the whole car and checked wheel alignment.
After a while tires started to work and car was really easy to drive. Maybe too easy. Clock doesn't like easy driven cars :)
Front camber to zero and 10g weight into front box then. That's how it went for the rest of the evening. Jumps well.
