A question for the Traxxas guys: what parts would be needed to re-purpose my Stampede 4x4 into the 1/10 rally? It looks like the chassis, bumpers and body posts are the main differences. Are the rest of the suspension and drivetrain the same? I have been kicking around the idea of turning my soon to be retired XXX-SCT into an onroad basher, but this looks like WAY more fun!

I think that a different body will make a big difference (?). Manufacturers do a great job of making licensed bodies, but I think it was cost-prohibitive with this one for now....

We had an exhibition race this weekend at the last stop of the Short Course Showdown Nationwide Tour....the video that I took sucked lol.....I have pics, though, ill post them tonight...I also got both of the Pro Linne Bodies...They are a direct fit. The wheel wells are a little wide, though, to accomodate the wider road rage tires that they use, but it still looks cool...

New Rally Class in SoCal?
Hi all,
My local Hobby shop informed me that thay were developing a rally class at the Whittier Narrows Park. They are in negotiation for the use of City Park land to conduct the rally class. The city will not allow digging or altering of the soil, but they are open to a temporary removable track. The shop has all the timing equipment, boards and ramps that can easily be used for a removable rally course. There are two surfaces already there, gravel walkways, dirt open lot and astroturf for the third surface.
This new venue is very exciting with small jumps and loose gravel turns for rally drifting. We just need the go ahead of the city use the land.
This is all in talking stages, I will keep you informed as things develop.
If you have an new Traxxas Rally, 1/8 onroad or a SC collecting dust like mine and are really interested PM me and I will forward your interest.
