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

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!

I am doing this right now with a Losi Eight. I needed chassis, center drives, fuel tank and shock towers. We have a growing class of these in Tampa.

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.

You are going to need the center CVD's too.

To be truthful you be better off buying the SC8.

Yes, and sell all the RTR stuff that comes with it if you already have motor and electronics.
