New arrival !

[andys]

Mr Postie just dropped off my Slim 4 conversion.

All I can say is the quality looks amazing, totally amazing ! The chasis is simply a work of art !
It looks like a real quality item, from how it's packaged right down to the shell. Can't wait to build it up.

Now where did I put my spare Losi shocks ????

you'll love it Andy.

Dont forget you need the shorter rear shock shaft, not the same one as you would use on a XX4.

What area are you from? Where do you race?

[andys]

Ah..

I was going to rob the shocks from my BK2, are they the right length ?
I seem to recall buying some different length shock shafts for the XXX4 once upon a moon, they are still in their bags somewhere ! Any idea what length I need ?

I race (occasionally !) in the NE, batley / york and the other NE regionals.

Cheers. Andy.

ALL Losi 2wd shocks are the same length, whether you have a XXX, BK2 or a XXXcr.

i have to say i like the atomic carbon s4 more than the new tamiya 501x .

I must admit I do like tub chassis - and a carbon tub is a great mix of the two.

Keep hold of those shocks brian, I need to know which shocks fit properly but I do need some.

[jcb]

The tub chassis is awsome, assuming you velcro the shell on everything inside stays nice and dry and clean. Definatly a bonus when racing on grass over the winter months :eh?:

ALL Losi 2wd shocks are the same length, whether you have a XXX, BK2 or a XXXcr.

Only problem is that the BK2 and CR rear bodies are 0.9 and the S4 use's 1.2, the rear shafts are correct at 1.0 and also the front complete shock would fit fine ;)

[andys]

Managed to find some of the longer rear losi shock bodies in the bottom of my pit box, so the Slim 4 is finally sporting a decent set of proper shocks !

Jimmy, are you running one at the Supercup ?

And a big thanks to Jonathan for all the help, and posting me out some screws to help me finish things off !

Still hasn't turned a wheel yet, but is looks amazing stood still. It's sort of a mix of all the best things out there today, with a totally different chassis obviously, but i can't help thinking the mix of transmission / suspension & chassis has to be a winning combination, the suspension geometry feels much better on the bench, certainly reminds me of my trusty old XX4.

Photos soon ? :cool::p:D

[Chris Doughty]

and here is me thinking I was going to be driving an 'exclusive' car next year... everyone is getting them!! :p

have fun with it, any problems or questions just ask, I have been 'offline' for a while busy with work but I still float around from time to time

[jimmy]

Yeah get some photos up Andy. I am racing the Keen Hawk (indifferent sparrow) at the supercup - should be a laugh anyway.

Any updates with regards to release dates and kit/conversion specs/prices?


Cant wait for pics though:cool:

[OldTimer]

Hopefully if everything goes to plan (don't hold me to it) the production conversion kit should be ready around April time. And a approx price for the conversion kit of £250.00
