UltimaX MRB - another mid convertion

[Alex H]

Hello racers!

There are some homemade kits out there and I wanted to do one myself. Inspired by Fabs and Mr Pink.
First things first. NO 4 GEAR TRANNY. Wanted to make one myself and I am going to eventually, but just to evaluate. Have seen MR Pinks creation in real life and he is doing really well with it. It accelerates strait on slippery surfaces and turns like nothing else. And on turf, don't need to say more.

I did my transmission differently than him tough. I simply made a hole on the opposite side and reversed the axel. Put in some shims here and there and Volà. The bearing sticks out a 0.5mm. I solved that by making a 6.1mm thick CF fixture with a 10mm alutube inside that holds the bearing in place. Everything is then attached to the motorplate. The bushing are made out of 3*5mm brasstube. The whole motor/motorplate is shifted towards the right to create perfect balance L/R. Seen from behind that is. About 2.1mm shift.
The screws from the lower suspension holder (will be blue alloy soon) are longer and screwed into the brass bulk and from top as well. The lower part of the shocktower (CF of course) will be attached into it as well. Some sort of brace will also be made to support the higher end of the tower. The CF on the gearbox is for supporting the plastic and strengthen it.
Just waiting for the CF sheets to arrive so I can start on the chassi and tower. There will be no top-deck and side by side liposaddles only.
More to follow soon.
