Team Kassanova K2 (2wd buggy)
 Team Kassanova K2 Buggy Since of a good friend (ZeroHax369) I have been able to start acouple more projects. The first project is a B4 inspired 2wd buggy.There has been the x-6 and many other people have converted the B4 into a mid motor buggy but I want to do something alittle different. So Its going to use b4 suspension. But it will have tc3 style mid motor , with a tc3 differential, and laydown shocks in the front and rear. This buggy will be like no other buggy you have ever seen. The following parts will be custom cut either on a cnc or by hand. -Lower Chassis -Top Deck -Rocker mounts -Motor mount -Chamber mounts -Rear chassis plate -Front Chassis plate When designing this buggy I decided to go with the Tc3 type mounted motor because if I where to just flip the b4 tranny I wouldn't be doing anything different and I would have would have had to use either a 4x2 battery set up ,which I don't want to use becuase I can't use lipo in it. Or I would have had to go with a saddle formation but I wouldn't have been able to get the batteries very far back on the chassis. Also the B4 trans would have made it very hard to incorparate a laydown shock set-up. I decided to go with the laydown shocks becuase they lower the CG,make the suspension progressive,and in my opinion is more durable becuase you don't have to worry about shock towers or bending shock shafts. I also love doing things thats are innovative and different , that are a challenge. Here are a few pics dimenstrating the layout.

No I havent noticed anything of that, only raced on high traction carpet though.
(The motor of my car rotates inwards the center of the car) Im really looking forward to seeing what you come up with regarding the laydown shock arrangement! Laydown shocks should have a great advantage when its raining and dirt makes rear upright shocks clog, and stop working properly. Laydowns could be concealed under the body, away from dirt spray. And in the front you'll get a very sleek design, with no worries of breaking the front shock tower. I dont know if you really get lower CG with laydown shocks though? maybe in the front on a 2wd thats possible, but in the rear the gearbox will be in the way.. or maybe my mind is stuck?

The major race that I would like to have my buggy raced in is the first weekend of February so I decided to concentrate souly on this project so that I can get it done , do R&D and find a local driver to sponsor.
I will have a major update very very soon. If not within the next couple of days...keep your eyes out... Ethan

Not quiet exactly major... but
I ended up mostly finishing the front end today... I have some small things that I need to do to it to complete the front but its 95% finished. I know that the right shock is at a different angle than the other and will fix that tomarrow.     Ethan Team Kassanova
