I would just like to thank Ken at Cobra Racing Products for manufacturing the chassis for me.

Very pleased with the pace the car showed today especially as it was the first time Andy had driven the car in anger,very planted and easy to drive and compared to Andy's c4.1 he way improved over the best times he managed with the c4.1

His car is built off the b4.1 and b44.1,i will be working on a new topdeck as the 2 holes that used to hold the b44.1 steering drives me nuts,it works fine but i just dont like the look of it,the only part of the car that is not associated is losi xxx wing mounts and the lipo strap

Hi! Really like your creation!
One question: how much is the wheelbase long? I read you started from a B44.1, but looks as you used the frot top deck at the back.. clever!!
What is needed to complete the conversion?
Chassis, body, battery strap... ??
Is there a full kit available?
Let me know, I'm really interested!!

Im glad you like what you see,right firstly the wheelbase is the same as the centro which we found was a good balance to the car,it is the front deck that we used as you also use the front centre driveshaft and you flip the diff in the casing,simple to do as you just cut off the lug thats in the housing and then just turn the diff round.
At the moment there isnt a full kit available but the sheels we use are from renguin custom bodyshells so simply drop steve a message and he will sort that,(we all race together so makes life easy)the lipo strap you make yourself,at the minute we have so much work on that we dont have enogh time at the minute but may produce lipo straps in the future.
The only part on the car that isn't AE are the wing mounts as for making life simple we used losi xxx mounts,you can use kit but you have to make up a bracket to keep the bottom of the mounts together

Hope that helps,as i say this all started as something myself Ken wanted to try and its just snowballed from there,once our cars had been seen on track then people wanted so here we are with hybrids springing up from everywhere.

Thanks!
Wheelbase same as C4.1 or C4.2? I found the 4.2 way better..
Why not the stock B44 wing mount?
How do you keep the pack in place? Just with the strap? nothing on the chassis?
Thanks again!!

Chassis length was based on the c4.2,i prefer the losi wing mounts and as i have a few sets kicking around i used them,the chassis is milled out so the lipo sits into the chassis so no other parts needed other than a strap,pic shows the chassis before electric install
