RC8 to SC8
has anyone doesn this conversion, im wondering what it would take, as well as if it is possible thanks if it is possible, what parts are needed
#2
Since there is no race class for the SC8 yet, other than monster, why bother with a conversion.
Just slap a clear Slash body on with some SC8 wheels & tires. You'll have to rig some body mounts but thats easy enough. sure will be faster than a Slayer!

RC8-T chassis, SC8 bumpers, roll cage (optional) and SC8 body. SC8 is RC8 suspension on an RC8-T chassis.

Also tires......
After buying all the parts necessary (and the time spent working on it), you would almost be better off buying a separate vehicle. If you have the buggy, you would have to buy the 8-T chassis, body, bumpers, rollcage & tires, strip down everything off the buggy chassis and screw it onto the truck chassis.
If you have an 8-T, you would have to strip off the Truggy suspension at both ends, install the BUGGY suspension, then add the bumpers, body, rollcage, and tires.....
Or like ZeroDefect said, use a Slash body and the SC8 tires, improvise the body mounting..... a while back, I sat an RC8 and a Slash side-by-side and the wheelbase is IDENTICAL. So the wheel openings would match up perfectly.....hmmmmmmm.......that almost makes me want to try the same thing!

the sc8 also uses different shock towers.

I wish they would just put out a pro kit version of the SC8, probably sell even more of them.

To be truthful you be better off buying the SC8.
