Default 4tec to short course truck?

has anyone converted a 4tec to a sct? i know people have made the 4tec into a rally car and also a buggy but i havent seen one turned into a short course yet, shouldnt be that hard to do.

Anythings possible if you mess with it long enough. How reliable it will be is another story. Most touring car parts are not strong enough to hold up in a shortcourse.

This would be a hard one. Buggy and rallly are one thing, you're pretty much adding longer arms, shocks to get more suspension travel. Converting to a short course would be too big of an issue. You have to extend the wheelbase, which on a touring car wouldn't be easy (especially with the belt).

I think it would be mostly possible but I also think it would break allllll the time. 1 its designed to be on road so the parts are just made of thinner plastic, 2 its traxxas and so its designed to break.
