Hi all... some of you may have seen some of my previous converted cars...

Well, today i raced my Losi xxxcr, and i didnt get on with it at all, so i got home and dug out my conversion car and decided to make a new improved one.. here it is...

Any comments/questions welcome...

Cheers, Tom

Tom that looks really good what shell are you using for it and is there any close ups of the rear parts.

Garry

Awesome, very impressed how you got the standard rear tower to fit :thumbsup: and loving the clear front one, any plans to make it from carbon? i always thought it would be possible to mount the ball stud verticle like that.

Just using a B4 one at the moment Garry.. only got the one pick of the back at the moment...

Thanks

It looks really tidy mate, i wonder if the X-6 shell would fit?

Cheers Josh! The front clear one is just a quick mock up for a few more hole mounts... the plastic was only about £3 for an A4 sheet...

I might go CF at some point, but cutting it isnt easy, it also gets everywhere and isnt nice stuff!

Thanks..

Can you tell how bored ive been? :p...

I want to design my own shell, but i might try an X-6 for now, good thinking!

It might be worth sending your design to fibre-lyte, if you can have it made cheaper than the K-factory ones then it probably will be popular.

i havent got any CAD drawings or anything though, it was all done on paper :woot:

If you go in and ask them to design a part they tell you to mock it up in cardboard :p a paper drawing is more than adequate.

haha... but i glued the paper to the plastic, cut round it, then took it off in several small bits ;)

Send the plastic part or draw round it again :p i like the curvey design as well, definately think your onto a winning product there.

lol true.. ill make you one! for a small fee :p

As said, i and many others may be interested in a carbon copy at the right price :p

i may look into it and get some emails sent to fibrelyte... 4mm would be best i think... how much would you be willing to pay?

I think between £10 and £12 sounds about right from fibre-lyte (would be smaller than the B44 front tower i suspect) so probably about £14 which gives you a little profit after postage (cant see it being much to post) Also, you wouldnt need to post it, i can pick it up from the workshop.

Ill send some emails off when i get back from my holiday (i go on tuesday) and ill let you know. Ive never been to worksop;)

Awesome, as i say i live close to fibre-lyte so not a problem picking it up, i'll look forward to hearing back from you :thumbsup:

i might re-draw it using similar lines but with some more features involved... ill have a quick sketch tomorrow and try to post some pics

thanks again :thumbsup:

what rear gearbox are you using?

Car looks very good, you tested it? I would love to have something like this but with an x6 gearbox if you fancy making one? :D
