Stick Conversion Pics..
As the title really.. cars virtually done, just waiting on a few bits to finish it off.. B44 Battery Posts & Thumb Screws and a T4 Carbon Battery Brace..
If you notice, the new orange steering parts are also fitted..and made up some carbon fibre covers for the battery cut outs  Excuse the pic quality, I used a colleagues camera phone...I'll post some more once 100% complete..

looks great!! Just got my car and was going to mount my electronics the same exact way - thanks for the template!!!
Only thing I was considering different was maybe mounting my servo like Kevin's flat on the chassis instead of up like this.

mounting it flat has the advantage that you dont have any rubbing issues between the servo horn and the body shell but can be difficult to get to fit as the front mount normally sits over a cell hole. i know kev made a small carbon mount for his so will be doing a simlar style thing for mine in the next few days

Looks good nick, very neat!
I went for the laydown servo (like Panic) which means you can fit a full size or low profile servo... but i think that layout is only possible with a smaller speedo  . It also gets the weight more evenly distributed and further forward on that side but its only going to make a small difference. Make sure you get the cells as far forward as possible though.

Very neat!!
I looked into laying down the servo like this but as Nathan says one side of the servo was over one of the battery cut outs.. which wasnt a prob for me as i have made some plates.. rather than making a fixing through this plate i thought of the idea of securing this side of the servo to the side of the chassis using the posts which go between the motor mount and rear shock stay (jesus!! screw..) you would probably have to cut them down a touch.. but i reckon it would work.. I ended up having to stand the servo up as the pics, because setting everything out with a lay down servo using the LRP TC Speedo, this would be too far forward in the car and catch the bodyshell (this speedo is quite tall with the fan on).... as it is it only just clears the cut out (looking from the front the right hand hole) If you run a smaller speedo, Tekin etc or indeed the new LRP SXX this wouldnt be a problem.. Im happy with everything as it is, but should i need to chnage speedo in the future i may go for the laydown way.. this way the switch and PT could be positioned on the servo... Cheers Nick

Gave my car a go yesterday at Bury with the new setup... wow.. the car is transformed!!
I have to say the steering seems so much smoother... the car in general is smoother and easier to drive... slow speed steering is drastically improved.. You can power up to a corner, brake, and the turn in is supurb.. it doesnt push under power or anything Jumping seems very neutral as well... maybe not as responsive in the air as it was with Lipo saddles in the kit standard layout..but still just enough to correct the pitch etc..All in all a drastically improved drive! So much so i will be running this at Oz.. lets just hope i can get it togehter!! If you havnt got the steering set up, get it...

glad to see all of the teams (and xtreme's) hard work is paying off at long last. the pred always had the ability to win nationals in the right hands but wasnt always suitable for the average racer. xtreme and the team have worked hard over the last 18 months to change that. One of the advantages of having a team of all levels is the feed back on prototype parts doesnt just come from the top boys. as we keep saying the pred is going from strenth to strenth and it is already showing on track and comments like this confirm that

Yes everything is working smoothly, would nice to see from Teamxtreme some more bits though, ie some threaded shocks (i m running out of shock space from all that C clips i m using
 ) , maybe a chassis with the battery slots covered...dont know...

threaded shocks?
please don't. At first I also believed this would be a good idea but I learned to appreciate the clips-system. Very easy to copy, always secure ... Clips for me! Quote:

threaded shocks are very hard to adjust on the pred aswell because the gaps between each shock is very small and so twisting the collars is a hard job. if that makes any sense?? very neat layout anyway. Good luck for ozfest
