Inside pics will come shortly!
:)

I can only imagine :drool:

Good job red ................:thumbsup::thumbsup::thumbsup:

I'm looking forward to seeing a better shell off picture.

He has done exactly what I am doing right now. Making a B44/B5 hybrid.

Doesnt use all the B44 rear though, look at the tower! Plus reds stuff is always stunning :wub

Yes I noticed that. I am want to see it now. Come on Red :)

I've seen the Beast in real last week .... awesome :drool:

We need more pictures!

Sorry guys , dunno why I didn't receive emails when u posting here...
Will try to dig this out...

Anyway , here "she" is :

Thanks for all your positive comments!

FYI : only one imperial screw : center dogbone!
:)

With center weight full front and 10 gramms in front of the shorty weight balance is 61% (rear) 39% (front)

Another note : this is just the prototype version , some new stuff will come like a center brace (slipper plate) to attach the center turnbuckle.

Will you be selling these kits?

Alex

Lovely mate. As usual.

Hi , thanks guys.
Of course , when ready , kits will be for sale. I'll post here.
:)

Jus curiosity what would a kit include?

I know its in development but wondering what doner parts it may need over a b5m

Awesome car :thumbsup:

Red cars always look like complete cars and not quickly assembled conversions (mainly due to carefully done side pods) and this is one even more.

chassis , sidepods , shorty pod and standoffs , shorty strap , gearbox "Top" , gearbox "Lift" , bodyshell...

I started with a full B5M + R arms (fr & rr) + front shock tower.
I did not use : body , gearbox and misc , center brace , chassis.

:)

I know your still in the prototype stages but do I have an idea on the price?

Very very nicely done!

Thank you all!

Testing goes on. Pretty descent, considering it has 3k gear diff in it...

I really would like to test it @ RHR Dirt!
:woot:

If you like going sideways :woot:

At the moment it's 50/50 between rear and normal 4 gear mid at RHR-D, a cheater car would be a handful!

Red is going global!

Keep up the good work, the car looks great :thumbsup:

:blush:

Thx Mark.

So that's a B5 rear end but with the B44 gearbox tucked in between everything?

That's it.

Hi there , some news after a month+ of racing!
I've been very pleased with the thing , durable , easy handling , fast on dry high traction tracks...
I've also been able to manage some good results during races.
Last weekend we raced @ Vierzon (France) for the French cup. Three B52 listed , pole poition , second position on the grid for me with a fourth place at the end of the weekend. It was my first A final in French championship. Unfortunately poleman has had some esc and slipper problems. The third one was in B final , very pleased with his car.
Now B44.3 is coming so we hope to be ready in a few weeks.
Some pics from the Vierzon :

slipper mod :
Plane area on the threading , and M3 tap slipper nut.

Also 9742 "with screws" on both sides of the slipper.

far from perfect , but efficient.

B52 Last version before preorders.
Fits B44.2 or .3 motor mount. Slipper or center diff. New central weight , 50 g vs 37 previously.
Will be tested this weekend.

Stunning car :thumbsup:

The buggy looks amazing red well done with it. Bit of a question for you has anyone tried the centre diff in it? If so what's it handle like in comparison to a slipper? A few people who have tried a centre diff in 4wd have stated how it's a different drive just interested to see what you think it's like in a 2wd.

Cheers
Chris

how would a centre diff work in a 2wd?
does it not need the front wheels to be driven to have an effect?

That is correct, but technically if you had like 1million weight if could have a slipper like feel to it, something to try for sure

If someone is interested in the diff idea, he should probably look at a Losi Hydra drive.
