No problems SHY. Will be glad to help out. The fist thing I am going to test is how The new motor placement functions in reality and if The flex system workshops well with the two different rear plates.

The initial idea with the easy removable lipo tray was that it was meant to be 12mm longer than stock ones so you could lift them up and switch sides with each other. By that the lipos could be moved to front or rear position very easy without the need of removing the posts, only the 4 nuts. 2 on each side. The lipotrays would of course look a little bit different with 12mm more Cf left at one side. This idea came from looking at a Tamiya 502 where you can move the lipos back and fourth.
Then I skipped this because the time frame for finishing the kit for Eos was to close. But if that feature are wanted, I will make it for production kits.

Here is a pic of what I mean. The whole tray is one unit and is lifted straight up without the need of removing the battery posts that is places in a fixed position 12mm further appart than stock position. Just switch sides and the battery shifts position on the chassis to play around with weight distribution.

The same goes for the 10 gram plates that can be placed differently depending how you want your balance. If you don't use all of them of course;)

It's all good! I can tell you that a MiD44 or an Atomized B44 (A-C) does handle excellent on loose & bumpy tracks! Very much like a XX-4.

BUT - you can't have the cake and eat it! I much prefer the std. B44 on astro turf tracks, which we more or less exclusively use here in Norway now. It just has much more steering (=faster) than a front-heavy car. And astro tracks are fairly flat as well, so that great bump handling is not really needed there.

Nice car and great ideas!
Loving the correct motor positioning ( predator did it first )
Very professional

Big thanks Rebel!!!!
Finally someone that thinks The way I do about The motor position;)

Your cambers a bit off buddy

Yes, saw that just now. Gonna fix that right away mate:)

Starting to look like that here i Sweden too but my local astro track is rather bumpy and so is the one in Stockholm. Not turf exclusive here yet and dont think it ever will be hopefully.
Have designed a front wing for the B44 also. Called halfpipe. Wonder why;) it actually covers the whole front of the shock tower and bends over in a halfpipe shape. Looks really cool cuz I painted it. Protects the tower and the shock caps from both scratches and impact to The shock caps. No pic just yet. Sorry.

Very nice job you've done! I love the body shell, much more attractive than the "bulldog" style that coming out these days.....

The LiPo straps are very clever system too ;)

Yes thank you! When the shells coming out these days are as ugly as the are and there is nothing else to choose from. I just had to make my own ha ha. Love the Azarashi Tateego but 50$ a pop +shipping is not worth it from Japan. Now I can Vacuum form as many as I want. Starting that next week. Got some people wanting one or two;)

Are you not involved in the MID44 project? Thanks to that car I build my own. Inspiration sort of speak:)

do you have to reverse the motor because you have moved it to the other side

Good job :thumbsup:

Have made some cars on my own in the past so I know how much work this is.

Car looks really good.
Congrats!!

Nickvega it's the same direction for the motor;)

If Anybody is keen to know more about how things develope during The race I am at, ad My nick on Facebook. Nick Rc Alex and My avatar is The brick B44 pic above;)

My driving skills were not there with me today but I am improving both The car and my self;). The lipo system worked flawlessly all day and it is à big help. Even RedRc took à peak at My ride today and poster Some pics on their site.

keep it up!
Been meaning to ask: what does Fyra stand for: 4 in Swedish?

You are correct mate:). Nifty or what ha ha!

Did not go as planed for me at The race but cant blame the car really. It was dialed after a few practice runs but I was not. Too much to think about and not really there mentaly. Got à lot of positive feedback from people and both the lipo strap system and weight system worked perfectly all weekend. No issues what so ever. More than pleased. Drove home early the 712km on sunday because I bought a puppy!!! Was not the initial plan but life throws curvballs at you sometimes;)

Now Durango geardiffs Will be modded into the Fyra-4;)

Now THAT I will be reading with interest :thumbsup:
