Anyone?

gonna pick up mine tomorow

Chassis tub version SWB is 1cm shorter than basic chassis tub version.
But rear suspesion arms are 6mm more behind on SWB version.
(Wedging 6mm front fo the suspension arm).
Then wheel balance is 4mm shorter for the SWB version than first version.

I try SWB but i find it very aggressive steering, but I have to try again...

[Thomas P]

Ok, this version has a lot of steering if im right? How about rear grip?

It is easier in my meaning to work steering away then find it.

If i not remebering wrong, when i used my old s2 (first tube verison) it was kind of slippery on real loose tracks...the end was almost everywhere...but the car was working REAL good, took me to 3rd pos Qual of 31 finished 7th 2008/05

The SWB car was a better car all round & had far more traction than the old one.

[Thomas P]

Thanks Matt, glad to hear that

I never have traction problems with first version...

I have let a friend on a machineshop make some Brass hingpin braces for the S2 car... and the little pece that will adjust the w-base in brass to. Maybe a week or 2, for some extra weight

Hi all,

I just thought I'd Post some Photos of my Mates NEW SWB Atomic S2, as it has some Exclusive 'WHITE' Gearbox Casings fitted to it, which look well 'Pimp', specially with the White Bodyshell & Wing as well.

ditch the RPM front bumper and it would look pimpin'

[GRIFF55]

Very nice!! if it were me, i'd go for white call cups too

[V-Rossi]

Very nice car, lose the blue bumper and place soms white ball cups and it looks a lot less gay

[Chris Doughty]

good call on the white ball cups!

JConcepts white ones would be great!

[Body Paint]

Losi ones would look better, and thay don't get filthy dirty the first time you touch them

[Thomas P]

Like it alot!, but i think the RPM-bumper kills the last "touch".

cant wait to get my done now, hopfully IF im luck my brass rear hingpinbrace are done

Just put 2 thin layers of foam on the inside of some old pliers to take the ball cups off, they won't get dirty
