LX-1E buggy to truggy - 07.19.2010, 12:45 PM

I wanted to put some truggy wheels on my LX-1E if possible. Im not going to lengthen the arms or anything just throw some stablemaxx wheels on it. Would this be possible with gearing down. Would I have to go with a larger spur or can I go low enough with the pinion to run it safely?

You would also need a longer chassis for it. If you do get a longer chassis, please, let if you if you are willing to sell the stock chassis. I bent mine pretty bad and I could use a cheap used one.


They say a good mechanic only needs 2 tools - WD40 & Duct tape. If it moves, and its not supposed to, duct tape. If it doesn't move, and its supposed to, WD40.

I don't want to lengthen the chassis. I just want to know if gearing it down would work or do I have to change the diffs also?

if it does not have 43/10 ratio diffs then it might be hard to gear it low enough.
