B44 reborn as Fyra-4
I wanted to do something different. I know, there is a car called MID44 out there but I wanted to do my own version
 First of. My own designed shell called Pioneer One.  Hate those blue nuts....come on! 4 nuts and two braces.   Weight system without any tape. Choose between 0, 20, 40, 60, 80 or 100 grams of additional weights in the rear.  Easy access. Just remove the the two left over thumb screws in the middle to add or remove 10gram plates. Motor moved forward by 20mm and lipos by 5mm. Switched sides on the motor because Kyosho and Durango are right  Pic Above. Two different rear top plates were made. One stiff and one soft. This is the soft one. Fore more flex because we like it on loose dirt track like we got up here in the north where its cold.  Comes of as one unit. remove only the two nuts and the whole thing comes of without the need of removing any tray. We like those up here where it is cold and where the tracks are loose..  What do you think? Nice? I think so. Premier at EOS 1-3 of April.

very nice, have you tested it at all yet? What are you hoping to achieve from the re-design?

Thanks for your nice comments
Just finished it up today and I am preparing for the big race this weekend. Know it will run well. If it is a success I will have the whole conversion made up in kits with all the parts needed to do this mod. I have a guy that can preform all the milling locally and with great precision. This I had made at my friends place but he does not what to make them in any larger quantities understandably. The metal parts will be in stainless steel instead of brass. Much easier to manufacture with laser cutting and cheaper. It even looks better than brass. Has got the same weight more or less. The shells will be starting to be produced after everything with the car is tested. Alex Hofvander

My driving skills were not there with me today but I am improving both The car and my self
. The lipo system worked flawlessly all day and it is à big help. Even RedRc took à peak at My ride today and poster Some pics on their site.

Did not go as planed for me at The race but cant blame the car really. It was dialed after a few practice runs but I was not. Too much to think about and not really there mentaly. Got à lot of positive feedback from people and both the lipo strap system and weight system worked perfectly all weekend. No issues what so ever. More than pleased. Drove home early the 712km on sunday because I bought a puppy!!! Was not the initial plan but life throws curvballs at you sometimes
Now Durango geardiffs Will be modded into the Fyra-4

I know it had been done, just don't remember seeing a clear "how to" on the matter. I have access to lathes etc so just need to know what needs to be made for the conversion.

Ah, I see
Only seen pics too but it would of been nice with some messurements also. Only knows what it looks like and have to figure out the rest by my self. But everything seems like it will be possible. Thank you for your intrest in this mod Looks like the bearings are standard 15x10x4 bearings but with a outer thin ring to make the outer diameter wider. Think I can remove those when the bearings need replacement. If only someone could manufacture those...
