Atomic Carbon spy shots - 06jan2008
 

Here are a couple of shots I got of the new 2008 cars from Atomic Carbon - they look somewhat fantastic, with plenty of custom made parts and both cars feature awesome carbon fibre tub chassis.

The S2 has been around all year in various guises, gradually evolving until a layout that worked was arrived at. This, the pre-production car, is a work of art - losing any rough edges the prototypes might have had and with a swish new carbon laminate tub chassis specially made for this car. A new 4-gear gearbox and cell layout distinguish this car from the prototypes. The car should be available as an conversion for the popular RC10B4 from Associated.

The new 4WD buggy - yet to be named, but let's call it the 'S4 2008', is a revised and once more tidied up version of the car that took third overall in the UK BRCA championship series, in the hands of Chris Doughty.
Jonathan was 'slightly' (very) reluctant to let me take any photos of this car, but suffice to say it features all the latest parts from the Team Associated camp, with new steering designed by Chris Doughty.

*drool*

:)

exactly! haha
very nice indeed, not seen either of the new cars before - very impressive.

I'm treated like paparazzi scum, so I am - but without the fringe benefits of fame and fortune. :(

what a tease :(

My fingers have touched the new S44/S4 2008...I feel all special now! LOL

I would dig out my own kidney with a plastic spoon for that car and the new S2.....

gross..but true lol

Let me know if it hurts Cris and i'll do the same :wtf:

Of corse it'll hurt......but with pain there's always pleasure.....




.....apparently.:eh?:

Wow, AC does the SICKEST looking stuff. I just wish they would make a few more things for cars I run, haha.:p

Wow..finaly it is close :D.cant wait to get mine when it wil be availble..the S4 talk, makes me curious...

i just may have to start running 2wd and get a b44 to test the difference.
very much appreciated jimmy:o

We love you really Jimmy ;)

good work!!!!! looked the the 2wd chassis before....loving the CF

old news :)
saw it weeks ago :D

JC had something else in the boot but was kept secret, looks like the secret is out now hehe!

Play your cards right Jimmy you could find yourself with Britney!!! :D

Car looks ace btw, lovin the carbon fibre tub chassis.

Oh bugger, and there was me telling the wife that after some new cells, tyres etc, my spending was done, looks like the credit card will be getting used again:D

Any idea when the S44 bits will be released?

I recognise that car :D

We do love you Jimmy, honest we do.

Both cars look great!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:D

ssssoooo nice

Very niiice how much? that s4 looks like it has b44 parts on it :wtf:

Jimmy the pap has got it wrong, its not an S4 2008.

its a B44 with the atomic-carbon option chassis on it

Any pics of the S2 shell?

Chris you've spoilt it now.. you could of lead them down the garden path a bit ;);):D

Shit! That's gonna sell well!!! :rolleyes:

haha, I did say 'lets call it' - lucky to get a upturned shot with a two fingered salute! :D

But if were giving details, the chassis kit is made as an upgrade for the B44 and includes custom carbon fibre steering (unlike the corally steering on the S4), new shock towers - indeed nothing looks like it's from the S4 (or BJ4we).
The car in the photo is Jonathans prototype, using carbon & blue kevlar-type material(?) production chassis will be pure carbon fibre.

The production S2 body isn't produced yet

It certainly will! So many people are running the b44 this year including me, an S44 conversion will be exetremely popular if/when it becomes available to the public

Will there be only the "S4 conversion" chassis for the B44 (i.e. with the 4-2 layout of cells) or will there also be a mere "carbon tub conversion" for the B44? I think the latter would be a huge success as to sales. The whole S4 conversion is a bit pricy for many. Why not just get rid of that lexan undertray...

these little teasers might answer a few questions

these little images are early proto parts, there are still things to be adjusted and tuned.

Is that your car chris?

No-vak?:confused:

not mine... there is only 1 chassis been made so far and Mr Atomic owns that.

im still blue

Jonathans i would of thought as i think he has the only prototype version .

damn .. to quick for me then Chris ;)

Does it use the same body as the original S4 (BJ4 based)???

they both look amazing! bit pricey though i guess

I've been 'out papped' :( sigh

1st S2 shells should be pulled next week, once we have one painted up i will post some photos, but it does look very nice :D

@ Jimmy not bad for a 400D lol.

Jonathan, the car looks amaizing!!! Hmm, maybe i must buy one to =)

I don't have 100% firm prices just yet, as i still waiting for some costs, but i have put some prices below to give people a rough idea. Again these are only a guide.

B4 2wd upgrade kit - approx £240.00

B44 4wd upgrade kit excludes shock towers - approx £199.00
B44 4wd upgrade kit includes 4mm shock towers - approx £220.00

Expected date when available - April onwards hopefully for both cars, if all our testing goes to plan, but again this date could change.

Hope the above helps :)

Decent prices..

the S4 body would proberbly fit. but there will be a new body specifically for this chassis.

Car looks great!!!
The 3D drawings were usefull than????
