Did you have to use shorter wishbones like the kyosho landmax ones to get the buggy to fit under the body, did you use a body from a 1:5th scale truggy to get it wide enough? or do they make CORR style rallygame bodys? I recently converted my LSP2 to a scale look with a rallygame focus WRC body that is built a little wider to fit over a buggy, it looks great for tarmac that it sees most of its use on, for gravel and loose dirt too, but I cant fit the stock rounded off-road buggy tires under the arches and I have to put the stock buggy body back on to do serious off-roading which looks a little silly with big body posts sticking up from the shock towers and I always did prefer a scale look, if that body fits a standard buggy I would like to get one for when I need the knobbly tyres.

The Hardcorre body fits 1/8 buggy perfectly with no mods that's why i went with it . I was going to wait for the AE SC8 body but it has a longer wheelbase so would not work anyway .
Body being painted Friday so i will have more pics then , just a rattle can job as i couldn't wait for the Upgrade skins to arrive here .

Thanks for the link Skellyo, I checked out the "What is CORR?" section and was amused to see in the video that goes with it that one of the guys is driving a Traxxas truck

Ffactory666, who makes the Hardcorre body or do you have a link? I tried a google search for it and got some very interesting results but nothing to do with toy cars

Finished the rattle can paint job but didn't get to run it at it's mayden voyage on a track today

We had our yearly big race event called Judgement Night 08 today but got rained out with storms and hail . I was going to run it in between the nitro classes as a demo but no luck .

Don't look too close at the paint as the freakin paint ran through the tape i used when masking .

nice! for the run throughs, you could line it with a permanent black marker. Brings out the seperation of colors and hides those bleeds too.

So, when can we see some vids? :)

Looks good !

I recently did a convertion too my Ofna Raver buggy ....
