Hi Guys, Sorry for the lack of updates on this for a while, I have spoken to the CAD man and he has it all measured now and should e-mail me over the drawings next week.

I will then send these CAD drawings out to some local engineering firms and see what its going to cost to do!

Speaking to Trish a while ago it seems the kick up on the front of the chassis will be a bit expensive to do as the machine needs to be re-set to do this angle.

I will see if I can post up the drawing once I have it.

Mark,

On the kick-up front, could you not adapt the design to take an X-6 front plate? So removing the alloy kick-up? Would work with the rest of the B4 front end....

Looks good though
Ed

From my point of view, when i do conversions its for fun, its also nice to be different and brilliant when your creation goes as well as the original if not better...

Well said Tom!! The main reason was to try it out and be different!

Scott (Rebel Rc) wanted to get the C of G as low as possible and with the chassis milled from Ali you can't get that much lower!

The car goes very well so far! We are not amazing drivers but it's quite different to drive compared to a normal B4 and on high grip is nice and safe to drive. It does need some set up work on low grip as Spud used it at a wet Stotfold and with it being so narrow it didn't roll alot and didn't create grip like the X6 and B4 were. He made some changes to the car and lengthened the links which helped but it's early days!!

One nice thing is it's at the Brca weight limit as STD, no adding lead or brass anywhere!

But like I said it's just to be different!!

How are the batteries held in place? it looks like they cold slide around forward/backward. I'm planning on doing something similar on my losi, aluminum chassis, mid motored, saddle packs in the same layout but I'll be using the stock front end so I won't need to mess with the kick up, and making it have the wheelbase of the 22, so it will be sorta like the 22 MM layout but my biggest concern is battery placement, the last thing I want is the battery too far forward/backwards and need to re do it all as it will all be done manually at school.

Building up my SMR B4 (chassis has been gathering dust in my workshop), been through my parts box and getting it going again for a bit of fun/nostalgia.

Thanks to Spud and Griff for the bits for the build, going to try and make a coke bottle cab forward shell for it.





The plan is to race it on the clay at RHR one day.....
