Do you have a pic from the underside? I wanted to see how well the front & rear bumpers matched up.

Thanks

Completely misses the point of short course racing. Short courses are supposed to be crude trucks with body roll (just like the real things). The appeal of short course racing is the realism. This is the reason for the high cg slashes and strikes. The strike is not a bad truck either, as long as you are willing to put a little work into it (sounds like every other rc on the planet right??)

Thanks for the input mr. f*cken wizard. Besides the slash and strike how many r/c werthy sct trucks have a high center of gravity? Thanks for visiting and make sure the door hits you on your way out!

the front bumper is sc10 and the rear I think is from a slayer, not slash. Body is strike and tires are sc8

Any video of it on a track? I've been thinking about getting a second 8ight-e just to do this type of conversion. But then again, a Hyper10 is so cheap now and they're so good, I'm not sure yet lol But I LOVE my Losi Buggy, so going this route may be fun.

Did you ever mount up the SC8 Rear bumper ? Sitting here trying to decide what bumper's i would like to try first, But at the same time curious how the mounts will match up.

I had ended up just using a traxxas one, anything is possible.

With a True 1/8 Sc body, the traxxas don't look right imo. Ill try and see if I can borrow a Local Racer's bumper's for fitment and go from there.
