Figured I'd morph my V1 K4 into the new V2 Outcast 4s.
I'm using Imperial measurement approximations. At this point I'm in a very early preliminary stage.
The towers are interchangeable BTWand are what I'll be using for this build primarily for shock location changes and rear wing mounting.
The Outcast body is a about a "3/4 longer than the Kraton body. The front body mount location is perfect using the new tower and body mount.
The rear holes for the body mounts are about 3/4" too far foward.Besides relocating the holes at the back, the body will need to be trimmed a little for shock and tower clearance, not a huge deal to be honest. The rear body mounts could possibly be shimmed foward to some degree to keep from drilling a new set of holes but the rear of the body ends up sitting on top of the rear tower instead of behind it. Basically, this Kraton LWB chassis is longer so a quick fix would be the V2 OC chassis.
Interestingly the V1 K4 body still lines up while using the newer towers and OC body mounts.
Gotta hit the sack for now. Will be back at it tomorrow and do a comparison of the V1 and V2 OC body as well.
I need to source the rear wing screws. I have alot of fasteners but none are quite as long as is needed.
SEE POST #18 for correct info!!!
