hi richard, any chance of getting a few pics of how you mounted the rear shock tower and what part syou were able to purchase and what you had to make? i'm really interested in trying this out myself. thanks a lot! really cool project, have you driven it yet? how far off is the setup from the standard chassis? thanks again!

I only got chance to put a couple of packs though it before I had a bod moment and broke a wishbone, I didn't bring a spare (doh!) so ended up running the CR for the rest of the night.
From what I could gather the turn-in felt very positive, but I had quite a bit of understeer. It's looking like I'm going to have to cut a hole in the t-plate for the gearbox to drop down into so I can lower the inner camberlink ballstud. The back end was colapsing under acceleration almost to the point of lifting the inside front wheel, so obviously there isn't enough roll stiffness at the back as it is. One disadvantage I've found of running the gearbox the wrong way is it loosens your slipper off through each run

oh, How did you sort out your layshaft matey? Did you reverse it?
I think I may just make a carbon fibre chasis, shock towers and and play with the layout, but leave the tranny

Losi 'short neck' ball studs allow you to lower the stud a mm or so. I guess you'd need more than that. 2 nuts! 1 nut is not enough! (on the slipper shaft) You did reverse the diff, right? The screw has to remain on the .. .ermmm... *think think* right hand side!

the nut loosens because of it's own weight, not because of a rotational force from the slipper plate or spring or something.

I think I'm going to try 2 nuts
 to start with, it's impressive though how the tiny nyloc nut backs itself off purely through it's inertia. I'm going to have to do a Mk2 version with lower and reversed gearbox.Ben, are you going to Batley this Sunday? If you are could you sort me out with one of those little moulded pieces you made to reverse the gearbox on you car please? Elvo, the lowered ballstuds won't be enough I don't think, I'm talking about 3-4mm to bring it back to the same height relative to the wishbone as the B4
