they are about the same size as a 1/10 monster truck body


I used a xtm mammoth bumper on my landmax. Its not perfect but it was easy to put on. I planned to add a brace to it but i never got around to it. The old landmax bodies are like gold so you don't want to wreck one.

Like the original pan head hardware and the short arms ?:lol:

What tires are those? And do they use 17mm hexes like buggies do?

those are the origanal tires and wheels. They use a 19mm hex like some old buggies did.

Hey Brian, you could use this wheel/tire setup. I think it would look somewhat scale.

Are those wheels standard buggy size?

I think they are close enough to these in diameter to work.

If you wanted to use slayer wheels and tires, a set of savage or lsp axles should do the trick. Then you can use the hpi 14mm netal hexes, and I am sure that the slayer will use 14mm hexes...unless traxxas goes with the new 17mm stepped hex they put on the revo platinum. I figure that they will stick with 14mm hexes.

The savage axles fit if you are using dogbones on the buggy. You may be able to swap out the cv style axle ends if you are using cv axles on the buggy.

Ofna hyper buggies are nice, but the ofna gtp solid center spool will not fit the hyper bulks, bearing sizes are different... Not sure if there is a solid center option for the hyper buggies.

As far as bumpers go the HPI Savage uses a similar bumper to the one that Desmo posted. Link to the bumper here

Brian...sent you a couple of PM's and haven't heard back from you. Just want to make sure they're making it to you.

Oops. I turned off PM notification, and I sometimes forget to check them... Reply coming in a few...

Brian, found this for you on the TRX forums and thought you would like it. Nice little corr conversion along your lines.

Edit: didn't see brushless boys post. Oh well I will leave this link anyway.

lol, I was just looking at that.

I just picked up a Mugen MBX5 roller from Skellyo as the base for this project. Hopefully the mailman will show up by Friday so I can "prettify" it over the weekend. :smile:
