Or you could just use a mm and fegiao for 215 combined. Then it's in the 800's. ;)

quick qustion: can you use revo springs on e-maxx shocks? i'm trying the 4 shock thing. one more thing can you use revo shocks on the e?

way to short i'd say. with mods maybe:032:

Just go with the UE if you want 4 shocks IMO, it's what I use, well, in the rear, in the fornt I use the mutilator front shocks which are about the same length as Big Bores. but you can use UE all around.

also i may want to do an elitric conversion. maybe the hellfire ss it's only 284 on tower hobbies. problem is i'm not old enough for a job so i would have to save up. i could use that as my race car.

1bhutch 04.25.2007 03:10 PM

1bhutch 04.25.2007 08:01 PM

1bhutch 04.26.2007 03:41 PM

sorry i ment 0.090. thats on just searching 5 min. the piece is 24" by 48" a little to big.

Some tips:

To insert links: copy and paste the link url into the reply box.

And its not neccessary to make a new post everytime you think of something else to add to what you've already said- it might be mistaken for post whoring / an attempt to boost your # of posts.

In terms of making your own chassis out of a flat sheet- it would be very difficult without a CNC machine & 3D modeling software. You would be better off buying a G3 or FLM chassis and the alloy bulkheads/towers & using 3.3 driveline components- a much cheaper method and still quite strong. if you arent old enough to have a job then it will take you a long time to save up the money to do the project properly. A 1/8 buggy conversion can be done much more simply & for a fraction of the cost. Take a look at the Candymans build- ignoring the custom chassis the conversion is simple enough- one custom motor mount, some battery trays and a custom servo mount are all thats really needed.
