Good so it'll fit the class but now there's a matter of keeping the hard wing from the crt.5 and finding a body that will fit and mount properly. My E conversion is the rc bros version so the battery stands up. That may be a problem. A 3-diff 10th scale 4wd buggy will be crazy tunable! I'll have to check with dirtburners or nankin to do a test fit of their different 4wheel buggy bodies. I'm thinking it'll be dremel it up and go.
FYI the rear is too wide to be ROAR legal by 1/2" (needs to be 250mm) the B44 bodies fit perfect with a small amount of cutting in the front.

The CRT.5 is specified as 279mm wide which is an inch too wide but that is with truggy wheels. I measured my JAmmin SCRT10 and the axle studs are 250mm tip-to-tip so a zero offset 4wd buggy wheel would be ROAR legal. I will re-check this but I am pretty certain.

Thank you Mantisworx. I'll get a body and run a test fit friday. I'm now left with figuring out a way to lay the battery down so it fits the low pro body style. But then I'm worried about the battery width interfering. Hmmm I wonder if it'd be safe enough to get some industrial hook and loop tape in lieu of a battery box with straps...

i have a customers car sitting and front of me and with buggy wheels it is too wide by 1/2" no doubt about it. but that is with LOSI,AE and CAster wheels. i am having some negative offset wheels machined right now but i dont think you can buy any on the market at least none that i know of. if you know of some that you can buy point that link in my direction, the customs ones are not cheap!!

Much better weight distribution with saddlepacks, only had to twist two collars about 1 turn to balance the car with no additional weight. i just want to say that the conversion ROCKS in buggy form! within 10 laps "off of the trailer" i was able to beat my personal best time and the track record, and we have some factory sponsered drivers locally and get two to three heats of 4w mod. i originally took on this project because that is what i do but i am definately about to make another for me and use as my interim car til my new one comes in.

Wow! That thing looks great. I dont have saddle packs but probably 10-2s lipos of varying MAH and C rating. I love the customer saddlepack look of this conversion though. Do you think the right side would fit a battery tray? The balance may be off but I could also mount the esc to the servo side to offset the motor. I'm probably going with a Sidewinder SCT or my Medusa 3300. Also what did you use to change the body mount?

not sure if a battery tray will fit or not, its a tight fit, you can get saddle packs for 30bux from gen ace, and you really only need one pack maybe two, the performance advantage is just better. i velcro'd the rear and used a std body post to hold the front down. im using a center dif and there is no way im going back to a slipper, the tuneablilty is great, it will handle as much power as you can throw at it, in fact it feels better with a 4.5 than an 8.5 even though its ballistic!

Other than the wings, shock towers, buggy shell, 1/10 wheels not sure whether there are other things missing for the conversion if i were to get these instead?

And for the long chassis conversion you'll probably need different length center shafts as well.
Not sure, but those are my thoughts...
