Monster Buggy
 

Anyone ever convert a 1/8 buggy into a monster truck? I've got an Rc8e and I was thinking about putting SC8e shock towers on it which also allows for truck bodies and then putting some monster tires on it for bashing.

Thoughts? Suggestions?

RC8Be with 40 series rims/tires. Barely clear and wide turning radius with adjusted end points. I just put larger Rulux rims and Badlands on it and added RC8T hexes for more clearance. Use it on sand and gravel for bashing. Its awesome but definitely doesn't handle like it was designed to. I have an RC8T and like the handling of the more compact monster buggy for my needs. If I raced it would be a very different story.

Working on fitting Proline Baja Bug body on it. The little guy is a B44.

Here's a RC8be monster build thread
