Hot Bodies D8 CORR Truck

nice!!!

[killjoyken]

Any updates? I'm dying to see the finished truck. I did a similar conversion to my Sportwerks Turmoil but I really like the D8 for it's durability. My Savage and Firestorm are the toughest trucks I've ever owned and I want to have a HPI buggy to add to the collection.

No updates sorry .

Been a bit swamped with some other projects , but should be done by next weekend

[Semi Pro]

try running the axels stubs off of the lightning lsp for 12mm rims

Little update , she is nearly done .
Just need to mount the body and paint it .

Got some black Kyosho MP9 wheels off ebay for 20 US that were being parted from a kit and i think they look great . Attached the emaxx rear skid plate as well , just need to make a simple mount for the RPM silver rear bumper.
Since there doesn't seem to be many dramas with the MMM V3 i decided to use my new MMM V2 .I have downloaded the latest V3 firmware into the V2 and the V3 case is on it's way from CC .
The R1 Pro will now reside in my speed record car .Man it's alot neater without having to run an external bec.

Hooked it all up and took it for a little spin , but i will wait for the V3 case to be fitted before i fully test it out.

Very darn nice!

That is one Bad(lands)-ass looking truck!

What wheels are those? I like 'em.

Looks awesome with the Hardcorr body on top.

Not a huge fan of the wheels, but maybe when the body is painted it will change the look. What are the plans for the color scheme?

Thanks for the compliments guys . Tires are Proline Knuckles as i want to have some drifitng action around corners on the track

Body mounts will be finished today then i just have to paint the body black as i will be using the following skins on it modeled on Troy De Lucas corr truck .

could please list what you would need to convert hb d8 to brushless please

Well she just needs paint , the rest is done and set up .
Received my MMM V3 case ( CC sent me two ) during the week and have transfered the brains and fan into it . Body mounts have been made , will have to see how the posts hold up . If they break i will have to get some alloy posts to attach to the mounts .

What are you waiting for! Get er' done and tell us how she drives. Awesome job mate. It looks very clean and well built. What did you mount the speedo on?

I've not seen a CORR truck before, I don't think we have them in the UK, but I do know that I like the look of that a lot. it looks like a truggy body to me but with the tyres fitting or close to fitting under the arches it looks infinitely better.

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.
