haha, I did say 'lets call it' - lucky to get a upturned shot with a two fingered salute!

But if were giving details, the chassis kit is made as an upgrade for the B44 and includes custom carbon fibre steering (unlike the corally steering on the S4), new shock towers - indeed nothing looks like it's from the S4 (or BJ4we).
The car in the photo is Jonathans prototype, using carbon & blue kevlar-type material(?) production chassis will be pure carbon fibre.

The production S2 body isn't produced yet

It certainly will! So many people are running the b44 this year including me, an S44 conversion will be exetremely popular if/when it becomes available to the public

Will there be only the "S4 conversion" chassis for the B44 (i.e. with the 4-2 layout of cells) or will there also be a mere "carbon tub conversion" for the B44? I think the latter would be a huge success as to sales. The whole S4 conversion is a bit pricy for many. Why not just get rid of that lexan undertray...

these little teasers might answer a few questions




these little images are early proto parts, there are still things to be adjusted and tuned.

I don't have 100% firm prices just yet, as i still waiting for some costs, but i have put some prices below to give people a rough idea. Again these are only a guide.

B4 2wd upgrade kit - approx £240.00

B44 4wd upgrade kit excludes shock towers - approx £199.00
B44 4wd upgrade kit includes 4mm shock towers - approx £220.00

Expected date when available - April onwards hopefully for both cars, if all our testing goes to plan, but again this date could change.

Hope the above helps
