BK2 body fits fine mate, check out how ive got my corraly connectors mounted in the above pics, only trimming i had to do was for the diff cover.
As a temp job im using a stick pack across the chassis held in with velcro strips. I tested it at the weekend and found it handles realy well! It didnt at first as i was lazy and just flipped the rear assembly round, resulting in toe out as seen in pics. Solved this by having the centre part of the rear arm mount as it should be and changing the outer hubs over. Now got factory toe in on the rear.
I am still planning the cf tub chassis, i will make a mould of the original chassis and pivot plate as one piece using gel coat and mould making clay. Then il laminate cf in the mould, probably around 1.2mm thick. That design will allow for saddle pack in the centre of the chassis. Luckily i have my novak xxl receiver and a novak gtx ESC as nothing else will fit, without standing the servo which i dont want to do.
However thats gonna cost about £80 in materials, so for the following reasons the project is currently on hold.
1) It handles fine in its current layout, ghetto velcro straps work, and im not competitivly racing it anyway.
2) I just blew £74 on a pair of Losi speed T trucks! one of which im converting to a off roader. So funds are low....
I will in the mean time make a brace from the diff to the front to reduce flex.
