My mates Rebel b4
 

My mate Scott made this today

That looks amazing :drool: - Top job!

he is getting it anodized tomorrow and will make the shell and battery straps tomorrow evening
the car is milled from aircraft ali and can take cells or lipos and a full size servo and has for cell positions i think and weighs the same as plastic b4
it took him four evenings on a hand mini mill!

some more pics
the car isnt finished yet but you get the gist

His name is Scott Dickinson and cant post as he is banned (naughty boy) from this site
shall i keep you posted on progress

Looks alot like the exotek mxt chassis for the losi mini t :)

I had a feeling it was his car :D

Just to confirm - metal chassis and it will take nimh cells?

Why not? It can be nice watching those sparks and smoke effects :D

the chasis will be insulated of coarse ala his durango:)
most chasis are conductive carbon
thanks

That looks awesome! Don't anodize it, just polish it! Nice and shiny.

i said that but he says it will keep dulling so its going gold like on the big bore pred shocks

scott says he is running it at the petit rc, thats why he built it then its going away to be tested by a top driver then he will make the revised car on his bros cnc!:drool:
if you want one pm me;) i will see what i can sort out
its no good scott testing it him self coz he doesnt realy race anymore and he's crap!!!!:lol:

saw one of these last year think i ve still got the piccy some where , Attachment 4909mmmm it was as i was told a prototype for the duango

yes thats right scott had been looking for a photo of one of them from 2005 worlds and couldnt find it so done his own how amazing they look so similar cheers blitz boy
scotts has a detachable front so that he can put on an all new front end but thats still a work in progress
scott has a durango 2005 and will also be hitting everything on sunday at the petit

just out of interest how will the lipo fit?Will it be saddle?

yes they sit on the cell divider/strengthening ridge thingys and theres just enough room under the lipos for the required extra lead
he bought that b4 in good condition hardly used off of a good friend for £20 and the ali was free from his brother lewis the owner of team xtreme/pred , bargain just owes £20 and a few evenings i will have to get one of these mill things there only cheap about £200 looks like fun

is that a k factory rear shock tower?

Yep, the one in his picture is...

photos as requested by DCM
lipos in or cells as you can see the batterys can be moved all forward (pictured)or all rearward (not pictured)or split (pictured)
cheers
