Yeh think theyve copied it. The s4 clone looks nice. Have you anodised the aluminium parts in silver?

many similarities
This is normal because the base of S4 and my M4D is the BJ4WE

For my first test, I use a front shock tower of S4 but now it's personal drawing front shock tower , it's on the picture.

Looks very well made indeed. What material is used to make the mould? It looks like some type of wood, but on the other hand looks very "clay-like" As im after somthing similer :D.

The Master is in LAB (special material for conception of molder, it's a syntetic wood......... but very expensive) but I haven't all detail because I'm not a specialist.
My part is the creation of design of the bodie for the complet final developement of the M4D.

Impressive! Nice work, congratulations!

Will this be a "real" company, or just a "side-business"?

Best of luck! :thumbsup:

very nice looking mould for the shell there
what comes in the conversion kit exactly and does it require losi shocks or can you use B44 kit shocks?
Gayo

You can use AE shocks.
