The gearbox hasn't been modified, just turned around.

I see what you mean chris, sorry my bad... So you CAN'T get the same effect as a 4 gear without one...

indeed, its physically impossible unless you have an even number of gears.. (or an idler gear between spur and pinion X-5 proto stylee)

Yeah my brain just wasn't working this morning... Wait... That's normal it never works :woot:

Hmmm !
 

that would be right ! get some work done !

Shut up you I don't talk to traitors :p

Is the front shock tower standard or is there an Atomic one people are running on it?

The team are running the standard shock towers.

i run an atomic one. there are two types, a single or two piece one:drool:.
The two piece has taken some nasty abuse too:D

About running backwards sensored speedo:
If you exchange at the same time two powerwires and two sensor wires, would work OK?

I don't think so - you'll get probably quite high negative timing on motor no matter what you'll do.

Untill my new ones come to test that is dude :) will prob be for next weekend, wherever that will be I'm not sure

Is the excelorin system that works the 1/10th sensored one? I assume so bug just checking!

Yep.

I have just uploaded a new page on the website here with more info on the CR2 plus a base setup and a list of speedos which i understand are reverse rotor capable.

Hopefully over time more setups will be added ;)

That's a really nice work Jonathan, as always I should say.

I wanted to add that every sensorless bruschless esc is also reverse rotating capable. (You just have to invert 2 motor wires) so you can add the Tekin R1, Mamba max and the others that I don't know. :D

just finished building mine and cant wait to try it tomorrow :D

where you racing, Mr B?

with you, cobra mate

I can't friggin race tomorrow, got all the kids, pop down though, grope the car and what not....

bummer, make sure you wash your hands first then before you grope :woot:

use the setup jonathan has posted for there mate, should be a goodun for that track.:D

warm them first too?

if you dont mind

not sweaty warm, like Jacko's when he visits a nursery..... just warm

Good luck with the new car Belsten:p

Can you also use a XXX BK2 for this conversion?

Yes as the screw holes are in the same place.

Random question, if it comes with the battery posts but not thmb screws, will the thumb screws needed be the same size (well, I mean the gub screw really I guess) as the B44 ones or are they off another car??

I dont think it comes with battery posts mate

Does the lower gearbox of the BK2 fit ok?

The final production kits will be supplied with custom made brass battery posts with a 4-40 thread. I could do thumbscrews but they work out very expensive and push the cost of the kit up a lot.

You have various options for thumbscrews the ae ones, the trishbits version, or just use a csk washer super glued to a csk screw ;)

Thanks again, thats great, think I may have a set of AE ones in a box somewhere!

i think i must be blind. I just had a look on the ac shud and can't see anything about the cr2 anywhere.

Is it possible to fit a X-6 or Azarashi vaykal body on there?

cr2
 

belsten..What did you think of the the mid-motor you ran at heath park?
i enjoyed the project with my own but i did'nt like the way the rear kept stepping out on me, did you get that problem much?

Alan

Saw Belsten's CR2 last night at our club, looked the bollocks!
Jonathon, another work of art :)

The thing i like about the car is you can just nail the throttle out of a corner and it will just straighten itself up, no understeer, no drama. If you can do that with an X6 then no wonder i couldn't stay near them with a rear motored XXX. :thumbsup:

Welcome to the future of 2wd cars Ian, with the motor where it belongs.....;)
