Upon the release of the Schelle B44.2 Aluminum Chassis in March 2014, many racers took notice that an upcoming shorty pack conversion was built into the Schelle design. Ready for release August 15, 2014, the Schelle B44.2 Shorty Conversion allows racers to convert their Schelle Aluminum Chassis B44.2 to a shorty pack 4wd configuration which sheds 80 grams of weight and turns the B44.2 into a lightweight track shredding machine. Schelle B44.2 Aluminum Chassis sold separately.

The Schelle shorty conversion design allows for (1) lighter weight by shedding approximately 80g of battery weight going from a saddle pack to a shorty. Careful thought went into the component placement on the chassis which gives the car almost identical weight bias to a saddle pack car, but now in a lighter and more agile package. The lighter weight also benefits jumping and landing, with the shocks carrying less weight on takeoffs and landings. (2) The shorty layout is more mass centralized, with heavier components closer to the center of the car which gives the feeling of faster and more smooth rotation through the turns.

This product will be a limited edition with only 2 production batches. The first batch of B44.2 Shorty Conversions are available for pre-order ($70.00) by using the link below or search for the keyword “shorty” at www.schelleracing.com.
