1/8 electric corr trucks
you got sc8e, I was thinking of turning my 1/8 onfa electric buggy in to a corr truck, just for something different. Are the sc8 body and sc10 the same thing?

Depends on what you have in mind for your conversion.
If you are pretty much just going to run the buggy chassis (no change in length/wheelbase) then you would want to run a 1/10 short course truck body, basically anything that fits the 1/10 Slash, Slayer, or SC10.
In order for an SC8 body to fit the conversion would be more involved. The wheelbase would need to be longer so you would have to use a Truggy chassis and longer center driveshafts. I'm not certain if it is better to use buggy or truggy shock towers. From what I gather an SC8 layout is pretty much a Truggy with extended bumpers and buggy arms/CVDs.

Looks great. The tough part is figuring out how to fit up bumpers to protect those front and rear overhangs.
