B Max 2 MR / 4 Shorty Hybrid

fmo · #1 23-12-2014

Hi guys,

I want to show a first photo of my cross-breeding attempt of a B Max 2 MR with a B Max 4 shorty kit. It has an asymmetric carbon chassis with aluminium sides.
I am curious how it goes... Hopefully as well as all these Team C carpet munchers here.
More photos tomorrow, I have no idea how I could upload more than 1 image from my ipad...
Cheers
Frank

looks great. does regular 2wd body fit?

fmo · #3 23-12-2014

yes - I really like the original B Max 2 body. Just have to cut out a tiny bit at the right rear of the body.

That looks brilliant.

Seems like there are several versions of these buggies being created.

-AE/Cobra
-AE/Xfactory
-Team C
Etc.

Can't wait to see how it performs!

Is the chassis carbon? Hows the flex?

What are the side pods made from?

Have you put the rear of the car on balance scales?
I know the shorty 4wd with the motor on one side and battery on the other is perfectly balanced Left <> Right. Adding esc behind motor may put the weight heavier on the motor/esc side.

Nice work

The chassis is made from 2,5 mm carbon, the side pods are CNC machined from 7075 aluminium.

Total weight is 1616 g (including body).
Weight distribution - see diagram.
Pretty close to a perfectly balanced car left/right.
