Hey guys been missing my onroad since i got ride of it, and i though... Instead of buying one.. Why not convert one of my current vehicles to a 1/8th onroad? So i got started playing around on google sketchup of some ideas. Didnt get very far as its 2am but here some progress i made. Tell me what you guys think?
It isnt very pretty, but ive never used a drafting program (if thats what you'd call g. sketchup..) but you get the idea. For the project id keep the 8t's diffs, Center diff + mount make a custom pan chassis with upper deck lay down shocks and 6s. The lenghts and widths are not entirely to scale so that will need to get re done. The motor, however is to scale straight from the specs on castles site. If you guys have any tips, let me know? This project is not 100% for sure but merely the brain storming process. Im going to be looking at the bodies available online for 1/8th touring and rally to get an idea of what my chassis length will be.
For bodies im looking at, I think anything from an old muscle car to new exotics to hatched' ralliers.

Give me some ideas! And since you guys are the pro's here, what are some problems I could run into?
