Opinions Needed Please :)

Bummer, was hoping for some more input. While out cleaning the garage today (alternative motives - another project with my father, his '69 Dart) I was thinking about the responses you guys gave. Sounds like either 1) you guys arent up for doing much fab work :P or 2) its just a bad idea. Im guessing #2. So tossing out the Sluggy idea, I started thinking maybe Ill do a 4x4 Backslash after all, but then I came across a box containing all of our old narrow maxx parts and some UE parts...

I started thinking about doing something similar to a gorillamax build, but with a homebrew chassis and narrow a arms (we got into Tmaxxes when they first came out, so we have narrow rpm arms, cvds, lunsford turnbuckles, etc) and that will put me at about 317mm width at the hubs, so right around a buggy width. Yeah I am sure buggies have better steering geometry and all that great stuff, but I enjoy stuff that stands out.

So with that said, im thinking T/E-maxx front and rear ends, buggy diff like a Mugen or something-I need to do a search and see what the rest of you guys use as center diffs, Mambe Monster 2650 combo???, 3s2p battery combo???-help me out here guys, flat pan chassis with braces , 17mm buggy wheels and street tires, narrow maxx cvds, buggy body, wing and wing mount, and probably a revo spec driveshaft cut to an appropriate length as a center dogbone. I have virtually everything except the buggy specific parts and electric components...

Don't get me wrong, the slash looks very capable, I just think for doing something like a backslash conversion, it could be done better, plus I have a box of nice, albeit outdated, parts that are collecting dust.

Am I still off my rocker?
