For the nose piece I sacrificed my B4.2 chassis and milled it to fit the 2.5mm carbon chassis plate from the B44.1. I was able to cut down the chassis to fit as well and flip the front top deck to the rear.

The motor position is farther forward that I want and if I decide to go to the VTS slipper I will move the motor rearward. I just need to cut a custom rear deck and mill out new areas for the motor mounts.

Set-ups like the C4.2 should work. I will be testing it this week and racing it next Saturday.
That is really nice. I would like to try that sometime. What size battery are you using in it?
