Post The Backslash
it may not be much of a short course any more but it is still a Slash 4x4 at heart.

Parts used for conversion:
Proline Crowdpleazer 2.0 for the Kyosho MP777
Proline high down force wing
Losi 8T/8B wing mount
Jconcepts Rulux wheels
AKA adapters
AKA Cityblock tires

First test runs at RCgears showed it performed better in every aspect, jumping and cornering especially improved with out that big body. It still does not compare to a real 1/8 buggy but it is not afraid to hit the skate park either 8)

That car is SICK but the only thing is will it run with 1/8th buggy? Nice work man :nutkick: :nutkick:

That looks really good with the new tires Jason. :thumb: It ran surprisingly well Tuesday with the short course wheels/tires, I'm looking forward to seeing it run buggy wheels/tires.

Thanks for the comments guys, I'm not sure if I can run in the 1/8 buggy class. All the dimensions are the same (wheelbase, track width) but I think it maybe on the light side and I'm pretty sure there is a minimum weight for 1/8 buggy. It might be more of an unlimited class competitor.
