No news on the car really, my Cad guy is taking ages and the kick up on the chassis will cost alot to machine etc so it seems like this project will be shelved I'm afraid!

Thanks for all the interest in the car!

Im a cnc machinist (lathes) but also have milling knowlege too And the kick up is no more expensive to machine than anything else If Its done on a decent machine

Some more pics now it's finished, big thanks once again to Griff for his help on some of the spares I was missing during the rebuild and to Rebel RC for making it in the first place

Old school Trinity light weight slipper:



The finished article, put on some Jc spoked wheels for the retro look!









With the Vega for comparison:





It's on the shelf now ready for a trip to the dirt at RHR one day!

Ok fair enough Gixxer but its all about the mid motor now so just a bit of a fun getting the SMR car built again, I'll leave the mid motor conversions to Vega

Except mine has proper wheels on it
Cheers for the cheers

Need tyres!
No worries bro

[MHeadling]

Well the last SMR B4 was stripped down and sold and the lovely orange chassis was screwed to the wall in my workshop, a few years passed and I fancied getting it built back up, a £35 B4 and we are underway! (Bling will be added!)

Looks good. Off topic but how do you find the 2x20 tires on astro?

[MHeadling]

Thanks Alex, I've not ran the front tyres on astro as of yet but will give them a go, I had them in my tyre box from racing on grass back in the day and they were really good
