I have a 2 week businesstrip scheduled to the place and was hoping to maybe meet up while there...

Wow Doug! That's advanced modelling right there. I don't think I'd manage the body like you did.

Some pictures of the follow up project; mid-motor conversion.
First design prototype printed: with cage body on c-channel chassis.
Final design prototype for ultima pro style chassis: print ordered.
I'm gradually adding the parts on a shapeways shop

My solution for shorty batteries is in prototype stage (printing).
Once tested I'll put it on shapeways.
Here's an early design. The final one looks a lot different but I have no picture on hand.

Here it is as I ran it at the vintage euro masters this weekend: and here it is on the turbo ultima chassis with the printed cage body, but before the batteryholders arrived:

Are you guys running these parts or are they on shelfers? I'm just curious to know if they hold up well. Early on parts didn't hold up well, but the tech and materials have gotten much better since then. Running but not frequently. I don't have my own printer: all of mine are printed nylon on an hp...

Is this inspired by the sossidge car?

same guy I think but it's more than 10 years ago I looked at those pics and now I cannot find them anymore

Replace the bearings in the spurgear by flanged ones.That way it won't rub the motorplate nor gearcover

Doesn't proline or rpm have a pro-gearbox for these cars too?

I like what you did with the lowered topdeck. It's an idea I've often entertained but never went with because of lack of short standoffs, lot's of material needed and alots of cutting... making me respect your work all the more

While I liked the g10 version a lot, I won't deny it looks way better now.

2 bodyposts, 2 clips, cut-down plastic T-strap and a piece of foam. The esc and receiver on either side stop the pack from rotating.

you can do it; I believe in you

top job!
