I bought the belt up over the servo cells and motor and the lower belt side nearly touched the upper and the chasis was 7cm wide at the widest and the wheel base was 3mm shorter than the bj4 mark1
the tranny had the tensioner just infront /above the servo and never suffered belt slip even when it was fitted with sch yellow full spikes and a 6single with clutch locked up on long grass the reason i built it was that i was challenged to build a slim car that had a very low cg,and balanced front to back and left to right. so i chose the losi diffs because they are centraly driven and slimmer the only trouble i encountered was it ran slightly hot and i think this was caused by a slight missallignment of the tranny case making the belt thrust slightly to the left, therefore tightening could have probably sorted it but i just slung it in a cupboard and started something else  hopefully this might give you some ideas

prototype RL1
Done the top deck now and cut the last 4 cell slots. i want to try this layout as well as the slim design and im going to give the 3x3 and the 2x4 layout ago first. i think i might run 35wt front and 30wt rear and a bigger hole piston in the rear for a setup and play from there. What do you think?
Scott: did your modified xxx4 handle the bumps any good? ryan

yegh all in carbon fibre but there is alot of testing i want to do with different cell layouts first. oldtimer was telling me how long the slim 4 took and he told me that these things take time so i am going to do a few differnt layout and test in my garden.

Layout looks virtually same as X5 layout now, obviously chazz decided the 4+2 is needed as 2 cells nearly weighs as much as the motor so it's balanced.
Looks good though!

RL1 protopye comleteted!!!! tested it on my track in the garden and its amazing!!!! its not quite setup at the moment but i was taking about 2 seconds a lap of my 2wd time and its a very short track. the belt slips a bit because the chassis is a tiny bit flexible and when you make it go flat out to full brake it's putting a lot of strain on the chassis and causing it bend a few mm so the belt can slip. please excuse my bod wiring as the speedo needs to go back in my b4 so i couldnt cut the wires!!! lol i ran it with a 13*3 with a 17t pinioun and it was quick!!! it didnt get that hot either.

Hi!
Has anyone really tried this kind of cell layout as shown in the attachment on their XXX-4? It seems that it would be easy to try it out. You would only have to make a place for the servo. If this cell layout could improve the handling, we would have a very cheap conversion kit indeed. This seems so easy that I'm sure someone has pointed this to be useless? I'm really interested on this conversion too! A slipper similar to the X-5 would be cool too.
