To make the conversion I used

B4 rear wishbones (drilled out to accept the cat hinge pins)
B4 rear hubs (1.5 deg)
B4 outer hinge pins
the axle part of the cvd from the B4 fitted to the cat CVD

Obviously the shocks are now mounted on the inside of the wishbone instead of behind and the car uses B4 or losi rear wheels.
I ditched the crap schumacher shocks and have fitted B4 shocks all round instead.

I havent had a chance to run the car yet as it was a restoration project but it should be good.
Seeing as Schumacher arent making a new car soon I thought I would try and bring the 3000 up to date with the newer cars by giving it a similar rear end to the Yok Bx, BJ4, Tamiya 501 etc.
