truggy corr conversion?

[kneedeeppow]

can 1/8 truggies be converted to corr truck? am thinking about putting a corr body on my mbx5t.is it possible?

Maybe, if you put buggy arms and driveshafts you can fit an SC8 body on. I am thinking about doing the same, but with my XB8 and XT8 parts I have lying around.
Already have a buggy with an SC10 body on it with SC8 bumpers, and it is much better driving than a Slash or SC10 (for my style of bashing anyway).

^+1. Most buggies fit Slash/SC8 bodies pretty well, so a truggy would likely be a bit too long/wide to fit right without modifications.

I have an 8ight-t that I swapped buggy arms, shafts onto. Fits the sc8 body perfect. It is probably cheaper starting with a buggy, then just using the truggy chassis plate if you want to go with the sc8 lenght. As stated the slash body length will drop on a 1/8 buggy just right.

Here's a shot of my RC8T with a modified SC8 body.

did you cut the wheel arches out a little more? are they truggy tires? i am hoping to do the same and keep my truggy arms.

I have more photos of it. However, yes I had to cut out the wheel arches probably a good 3/8"s of an inch. Also created some body mounts using aluminum sheet and the SC8 body mounts as the body needed to be raised even with the wheel arches cutout. Its running on Pro-Line Badlands MT with Maximizer beadlocks.

But yeah, I sorta liked the look myself, however I did not want to lose the width of the truggy.

that looks cool aye.with the way my tires balloon when the throttle gets hit hard i will need alot of room around the wheel arches.was wondering how you made the body mounts,thats a good way i reckon.atleast then the alloy would bend on impact rather than the mounts snapping. one of our club members showed up to our open day with a sc8.i put the body ontop of my chassis out of interest and thought it looked pretty mean.its something different i guess.
