BMT 95R Active Team Car

I have never been the hugest fan of BMT. Maybe it's the pukey green or the horrible grey plastic. Either way I never have rushed out to hunt down BMT cars. However, when this example popped up on eBay, I just couldn't resist.

The chassis is a 95R 4wd that has clearly been used. But what is interesting about it is the slew of custom made parts which include the carbon fibre radio plate and chassis, the thin aluminium sheet covering the chassis to the motor to (feebly) dissipate heat from the engine one would assume. Other custom parts include the rear radio tray mounts that appear to be machined items replacing the plastic molded components and other various bits.

The car also runs the non standard 3 speed gearbox. All very interesting stuff.

Am beginning to study this car more to understand some of the modifications on it including the strange linkages between the suspension front and rear. The car also appears to use the 2wd bulkhead of the 95R. Sadly this piece is damaged at the shock mount on the left so will need to source the replacement part in due course.
