AVID is announcing the arrival of the 2.5mm thick, hard anodized B44.2 chassis. The AVID chassis improves handling, lowers CG, and includes an optional ballast weight system which allows for adjustable weight bias while keeping the CG as low as possible. AVID team drivers have been testing this chassis in Southern California with incredible results.
In addition, the B44.2 chassis has a second set of center bulkhead holes to allow for a B44.1 +8 conversion! Extra parts are required and sold in an upgrade pack which includes: AVID B44.1 +8 rear top deck, rear center drive shaft, B44.2 battery trays and straps.
