Custom Protech style B44 body

Post by Bugle »

Knocked up a mould from scratch, just to see if I could, and i'm not a huge fan of the current body styling used by Associated or Jconcepts. I also wanted some big scoops because my motor (LRP X11 7.5) and speedo (Mamba Max) were getting up to around 82 deg C (180 deg F) running in summer with the standard B44 body.. Seems to run a bit cooler now, around 160 deg F on the motor with no heatsink or fan. Look old school enough? I have to make another one and do a proper moo paint job now :D

Thanks, next I might make a Protech 1 or 2 style body for the B4 with a scoop big enough to fit a Mamba Max Pro. I don't think there's any B4 body right now that will fit that speedo!

My brother has been battling this problem with his B4. If you decided to do this please let us know. I am sure he will take 1 or 2.
