Very little progress on the car today so thanks to the weather, rain rain.
But something I did to the car.
Here is some pics.

Sweet!

Forgot that the wing stay also can be carbonized. How thick did you make them?

I have just crafted a mid chassis but got a problem counter sunk the holes. My tools for that seems to be low quality stuff!

Thanks for the pictures and inspiration.

Thanks.
The carbon is 2.1mm thick. I really want to make the chassis and upperplate too from carbon.
Maybe also the motorplate.
At this time I have 3 cars to finish.
Little help from the weatherman si I can stay out and make the parts.
Yes this model is superb.
Maybe I'll order an A&L conversion to this car.

I tryed to fit an short lipo under the upper plate and its fit perfectly.
Tomorrow I`ll start to make the main chassis.

What short LiPo did you test with? Sounds interesting because I have chosen the SWB platform in my thread:

Nice work so far!

[Jerzi]

This lipo will fit that car perfectly. I have to change the servo saver, maybe I`ll trye to fit an touring car one in there so I can nicely put the servo on the left side of the car.
The chassis will be very narrow.

If someone will buy the chassis that is in the car now, send me an pm.
I really HATE that chassis

I have a shorty in my ultima at the moment also: made by yokomo. It's only 28000 mah but not only short: also much lighter and slimmer than a normal pack or short pack.
I bet you could put that one against the topdeck and run the belt underneath easily; to keep all the weight really centered.
Unfortunately I've only ever seen this one in the japanese shops.

If it is put centered against the top deck it will probably interfere with the servo arm. I'm not 100% sure though. It would be a cool solution. Even my full size Intellect IP 5000 LiPo fits height wise as it has bumps and is not that thick in the middle.

I think that even cross-wise over the belt could be pretty cool with the shorty: with the ESC and receiver just in front
