PHANTOM 11 CHASSIS.
CRANKSHAFT WITH FOUR BALANCE WEIGHTS.

Replying to By/CS1/EH20.3.31.

We do not believe it is worth while going ahead with the special crankshaft in Nitro Alloy for the four balance weights scheme. We have got a standard shaft running fitted with four balance weights and we think there is very little possibility of this scheme being adopted.
