Here is my new shorty lipo conversion chassis in carbon fibre.
Allows the motor/slipper pod to be rotated 180 degrees and moved forward. Front and rear propshafts are swapped. Shorty lipo tray allows forward and rearward positions in a similar manner to the saddle lipo trays.
More photos when fitted.

Thanks. This is a first one-off cut. Need to test fit it (it should be perfect) and make sure it works as I think it will. Will work out a finished price, but not sure about shipping prices to .au?
I may also look to have them cut in alloy, if I can source some similar to the kit spec?

B44.2 proline bulldog body
I got my body to fit after a few trims up front. moved the front post hole back a few mm but it fits alright. The bottom needs some trimming because the chassis is longer than the 44.2 chassis. I feel like it calmed the car down some. it felt better on the track. the steering arms clear but turning right the servo horn barely hits the body a touch

The ones in my two were steel and have gone square just about straight away they say there carbide but you can pick them up with a magnet and like i said they went bad very quickly so i just assumed there steel and ordered some decent ones abit ordinary for the price but oh well.

Hey guys, couple of quick questions:
What balls come in the hall diff sets, carbide or just steel etc? If just steel what size are the main and thrust balls?
Secondly, anyone run the car at Space Coast, if so what springs work well at that track? Am hoping to do the nationals this year!

Fits together perfect. Has clear chassis protection sheet on bottom.
Will be running it on astro in the week.
Not had it on the scales but it feels quite a bit lighter than the alloy and saddles.

ok first i'm new here with yokomo, and the bmax4 III.
In comparison to my B44.2 it's so a heavy car. so the springs and fluid are heavier tot use on the bmax. That makes it not possible to use my asso springs on the car. But with the conversion kit with shorty and much lighter chassis, i 'm curious it performs also as good.
i see on the photo you use the same combo as me, toro ts120 with the reedy sonic mach 2 but 6.0t.
The combo works perfect, except when i use some boost, the motor will not spin smooth in low turns. Only with turbo its as smooth as it can get's. ts120 with the hobbywing V10 no problem and the reedy with the HBV2.1 works also fine. I think it's the combination?

!!!YES!!! the original body is a pain in the ass.
1 landing of another car on your roof, and you can say goodby to the shell.
2e the bmax 4 III is 'so sexy' like a german tank leopard.
So for the moment i call it the 'TANK'.

Currently I am running with 1.6 hole front, 1.7 hole rear with associated blue and green. Running 35 and 30wt losi oil.

Yep, same here - the associated springs work fine on clay or dirt. I use the yokomo springs for carpet or astro.
