Bmax 4-III Shorty Lipo Chassis
Here is my new shorty lipo conversion chassis in carbon fibre.
http://courgette.jml.net/~neal/RC/Yo...n-Shorty01.jpg http://courgette.jml.net/~neal/RC/Yo...n-Shorty02.jpg Allows the motor/slipper pod to be rotated 180 degrees and moved forward. Front and rear propshafts are swapped. Shorty lipo tray allows forward and rearward positions in a similar manner to the saddle lipo trays. More photos when fitted. |
That's nice mate. Who done that for you?

Looking good :thumbsup:. I'll wait for the official release myself (which will be in Alu). But a good thing people are already cutting their chassis and designing their own. Lots happening ;-). How much does it weigh?

carbon was cut by fibre-lyte. |

I have considered that this lighness low down may affect the CofG and balance of the car over the alloy chassis, and possibly give more flex? we'll see how its performance compares. if i can source the right alloy i could get it machined on a friends CNC, or just use the carbon as a drill template for my kit chassis. seems to work fine for Naoto. |
one chassis that does both sounds better to me.

I'll weigh the kit alloy chassis when I've stripped it down. about half the weight is probably about right.
The yokomo conversion kit won't be long so i'll probably run this to test myself rather than mass produce them in carbon. I think the alloy maybe better weight balance, and offer less flex, so better for higher grip tracks. You want the extra weight on the low grip tracks, no no real need to change from the kit chassis in that instance. |
