Thanks, also i ran the sensor wire below the batteries in the channel and stuck a square cut out of carbon fibre fablon type material over that area to cover and protect from wear, it de clutters the wiring a bit.

That looks brilliant.. who painted the shell ?
I take it you had to cut down the front wheels to get the tyres to fit..?

I painted the shell (extreme-fx) and yep cut the front wheels down to make em slimmer and the tyres are all proline which work fantastic

Built really well the quality has gone up massively from the B4's + Centro conversion. No missing parts for me I have still got to paint the shell, but will be having a pro painted JC Silencer when they are available in the UK.

Looking great Steve. I think I might need one of these. I'll bet they're like hens teeth now.

Not yet Gaz, built it last week whilst away with work and I'm away again next week hopefully I will run it next weekend. Just feels a lot more solid than the C4's.....
