Anyone tried to convert a Xray T4 to a fwd? Similar to the TC7.2 conversion.

I'm pretty sure Xpress didn't write that post.

Anyone drag race their FWD cars? Having the motor near the front wheelbase looks like an interesting drag project ...

Anyone can point me in the right direction for tall body posts (mounts)?

Yep saw that thanks, I’m not convinced it’s stable just by looking at the photos. Do you have experience using them?

yeah, I use them. They're fine. "nothign" is stable when it's that tall. Pick up some 0.5mm carbon, make a brace.

Thats a great idea on the carbon. I did consider running it towards the rear but wouldn’t be able to adjust the height if I punch the holes wrong.

The extenders on the Xpress body post sets are far more stable than the Tamiya ones.
