Where did you get the lipo strap from?

Lee1972 15-12-2013 07:33 PM

And how did you get on at Silverstone?

jasonrcb 15-12-2013 07:42 PM

The lipo strap was made out of piece of carbon i had lying around,nothing fancy and enough to do the job.

Silverstone was good and the car went very,i think it was well above what Andy was expecting as up until yesterday morning he hadn't driven the car,qualified much higher than he had previously with his c4.1 and was so much easier to drive in his opinion,alot more to come from the car as apart from yesterday all the car has been raced on is low grip astro outdoors,the pace of the car on high grip is night and day different to a std mid motor and there is now very little to choose between them on low grip in my opinion

i would like to see a b42.2 with a carbon chassis

ste_lazzaro 15-12-2013 09:58 PM

I think you can trim the unused drive cup to fit a longer servo..

If you maybe could look at the XB4 or yokomo mr2 conversion that would be great.
Maybe even something with the 210 front/ ? rear

jasonrcb 16-12-2013 07:14 AM

Yokomo 4wd/2wd chassis conversion is on the list and should be all sorted in the new year,i have had a look at the xray and as yet not top of my list there are ideas floating around at the minute.

If you follow our facebook link on the first page you will see we have 2 durango versions already out,firstly is the Cobra 4210 which is a full durango conversion,we also have a B410 version using the 410 drivetrain and B4 front end,both versions are going well in testing and showing good promise

ste_lazzaro 16-12-2013 08:08 AM

..Now I see the reason why you couldn't use the stock wing mount..
What P/N is the losi one?
Thanks!;)

OneKiwi 16-12-2013 09:20 AM

Would you need a topdeck with the durango rear? OR could you do some delrin/CF/alu rails?
Would the yoko conversion use the yokomo front and rear?

jasonrcb 16-12-2013 09:37 AM

The durango versions have been run with no top deck and using the correct alloy there are no bending issues and we have abuse tested the chassis,we also have a weight that bolts to the chassis that acts as rail but i found the car is not as good in the wet with the rail fitted.

The yokomo will be full yokomo front and rear,obviouysly once we have the first car out and the template made then you could have any front end you wanted really

alex97 16-12-2013 09:46 AM

are you planning to make one that can take saddle packs ?

jasonrcb 16-12-2013 10:01 AM

We have a Tamiya 511/201 that uses saddles,the belt drive cars seem better that way,i dont see a saddle/shaft drive on my list of things to try,for that just take the front diff out of your 4wd.

andy reeves 16-12-2013 12:36 PM

I have to say that for my first outing with the car it ran faultlessly all day. It had the drive of a 4wd but with a touch of under-steer. Seen as I didn't alter the set up all day I am fairly sure that I will be able to make it go quicker next time. The amount of speed that you can carry through the corners with these cars is scary.

Jamie B4 16-12-2013 02:24 PM

Congrats guys Andy,Jase,Ken had a quick look at it but didnt see much as he was in the heat before me and my final but believe the speed he could carry was very impressive

ste_lazzaro 16-12-2013 05:01 PM

I found part LOSA4222 for the XXX CR.
Is this the right one?
Unfortunately it looks no more available in the UK.
Suggestions?:confused:

Thanks Jamie,we appreciate your comments and thanks for taking the time to have a look,see you trackside again soon

jasonrcb 16-12-2013 05:29 PM

I would say that a call to DMS racing and you may find he will have the wing mounts,he still carries a good supply of older losi parts,ebay i have seen them come up on there.

You can use ansmann/teamc,kyosho,durango,tamiya mounts by drilling an extra hole in the tower

Tom3012 18-12-2013 09:11 AM

Can you buy the b4, b44 version yet?

stew_zs 18-12-2013 09:17 AM

Tom,

He said first batch is being made

jasonrcb 18-12-2013 09:23 AM

Hi Tom,yes they are available abd as stew says the first batch is being made as we speak,im not sure we can get anymore made before xmas as the response has certainly suprised us all:thumbsup:,xmas postage also comes into play which is a pain in the rear.

I can certainly add your name to the list if your interested
