it's not a BK2 with a XXX gearbox as the BK2 was already a XXX.

Some of the bits I recall included cutting the steering mounts off and moving them, cutting out the front of the battery tray so the cells were mounted fwd against the servo, lead filled front bulkhead/arm mount, rear arms were reversed, new holes drilled further out on the arms to mount the shocks, CVD's replaced with UJ driveshafts, rear chassis plate and pivot block from the XX CR. In fact it may have been the full XX CR rear end, gearcase, motor plate, etc, but I'm not 100% sure on this. Many team drivers used the Trinity alloy hubs as the had extra options for the ball mount, I think the ball mount fitted into the top of the hub so you could alter roll centre too?

All in all a lot of work and many decided enough was enough and just went out and bought/switched to a B4...
