Yep, the D4 wing mount is a direct fit.

Must say I like the Cyber-10B mount more. It allows you to adjust the height but more importantly it has some flex. End result is the Polycarbonate wing...

The bottom screw holes look identical but the holes for the top brace are different.

The spur gear is also located higher on the Cyber 10B to allow the battery to slide under the central shaft....

Hi Leinad, I never installed the D4 front drive shaft due to not having a spare CVD rebuild kit. I did a quick eyeball and the dimensions looked like it was possible.

I think that is uncomfortably...

With a Losi Xcelorin 17.5, I ended up at 35/78 (FDR 5.35).

After a 5 minute club race, temps peak around 138F.

Speaking of which, I ran the C10B for the first time last Sunday at my local club...

What I would like to see is a center driveshaft CVD coupling for the rear gearbox.

The D4 one makes the center shaft slope too steeply. Can't sling a lipo underneath.

It's for the front. The WCE slipper is longer towards the front compared to the original D4 slipper. The included shaft makes up for this difference.

On a different note, installing the rear D4...

No additional parts required for either the slipper or shocks that I can see.

To install the aluminium shaft, you'll need a front gearbox CVD from the D4 and possibly a CVD rebuild kit.

That's right, I believe HPI/Hotbodies refer to it as 'carbon reinforced composite' too.
