You're right Eddie,it was Paul's
.
Yours looks pretty good now you've cleaned it up.
Yeah,mine's new body is about 10mm too wide on each side of it,hence the need for the undertray to pull it in.
Mine started out life as a SWB Meteor but it now sits on a Cobra chassis
with a Cobra front end and I have the Cobra shell and wing,hence it's now a Cobeor.
The gearbox and back end is all original Meteor,but the 'box itself is fully ballraced.
I use the Meteor rear suspension arms because I think they're stiffer than the Cobra's.
It still needs the Meteor mod of an aluminium heatsink/motorplate making up
and bolting to the chassis.
That helps get the heat away from the gearbox(it's all plastic)and stiffen up the back end some more.
I have Option House Gold shocks up front and long Traxxas Grey on the rear,this means though
that I've had to cut and modify the Meteor suspension mounting(sacrilidge some will say!!)
to accept a wider,taller upper shock mount otherwise the Traxxas shocks are too long.
A Cobra rear mount will fit but there isn't enough clearance over the motor cover to fit the upper links.
I use Associated silver springs up front and long greens on the back,though I'm thinking of changing to Schumacher yellows and blues to see how that makes it handle(it is pretty good at the moment)
I'm keeping an eye out for a Cobra/B2/Losi gearbox myself,I don't really want to lunch the Meteor box internals(spares are like hen's teeth for 'em),though Terry SC reckons it should handle a 19 turn without much fuss because it's fully ballraced.
