It follows original #9240 shape and I added also skid plate ribs to protect chassis rear edge.
Next thing is to update all chassis drawings with mounting holes for this...

Good job Niki, looks great!
As soon as the updated chassis plate + motor guard is available I will order a complete conversion kit for the b3
Cheers,
Daniel

Niiice!
I will probably order the chassis plate at fibre lyte. Let me know as soon as I can order the updated chassis plate.
I just have to send the drawings to fibre lyte, right?

I just picked up a B2 & T2. These carbon fiber conversions are very tempting. Has anyone drove one on an American indoor clay track yet? How did it handle? Did you use the Assoc arms or the Shapeways?

New motor mount brace and standard transmission covers.
My chassis rear end is now modified to match current drawings.

Niki,
Could you do a mid motor version of the B2? Now that would be great.

Hi,
Is there a file for the rc10 graphite shape chassis with extra holes to suit the rear battery cup for shorty pack?
Thanks.

Do you want to mount it sideways? I think there is not enough space on narrow chassis. On std. chassis you can mount shorty sideways to B44 craddle.

I plan on mounting it length ways. Just not sure if the distance between the front battery cup and rear bulkhead nix92001 is too far to keep the shorty battery secure.

OK. There is no holes to move front battery cup backwards, unfortunately. By using a B4 battery strap, you can still do it like this...

Does the b4 strap have correct spacing across the mounting points or do you slot the holes to suit.
Got a b4 strap similar to whats pictured and holes don't line up to the cups i have which look right.
Thanks for you help too btw

Small amount of tuning is needed.
