BITD there were all these conversions for buggys to on-road and LTOs. I don't think that ROAR and IFMAR changed their max width rules, but the JRx2s and RC10s, must not have been quite as wide as today's buggies. Those Jammer and Hyperdrive conversions didn't have any issue getting those buggies int...

It’s been quite awhile, but in case anyone wondered how it all turned out, here it is.

Oh - sorry I read the post last night and put that reply in this morning without rereading. You had already said that. Ever do that at work?

IDK I think that LB would need some different tires and wheels anyway and maybe a bit of a wheelbase stretch.

Thanks for the suggestions Coel. After disassembling the shocks I found that they did have one hole pistons, but they were TINY holes. I opened the hole up with a 5/64 bit, and stretched the springs. I left the Tamiya soft oil in there and put it all back together. It is less bouncy by far, but I th...

What about just using an MF01X with a LB body? then a few mods to allow the LB wheel and tire package. No, it's not vintage, but yes - you get independent suspension. Albeit with stubby little arms. I think there are options to improve the track width too. WR02(?) arms or something.

Thanks for the tip in the pistons. I did drain rinse and refill the shocks as I was cleaning it up to run, but didn't note the pistons. I will check them out this weekend. I noticed that my chassis was cracked too this past week, where the tranny bolts to the upper chassis half. I've ordered a repla...

One more thing - anyone got suggestions for springs? The rear end of this think is super bouncy. I tried cutting a few coils out of the spring and then stretching it but it's bad. Next step was to pick up the DT02 or DT03 spring set and find the soft ones. Is there a better solution?

Finally threw those arms on the Fox and got some new rims and tires. She looks good and runs well with this setup. But a head-on with the DT02 this weekend put her out of commission again. While I was working on it, I found enough rod ends and ball studs to put together a stabilizer for the front, b...

Nice pick-up on that motor mount. I'm going to get one for our DT02. I don't know much about the 03, but they it shares most components with the '02. The chief complaint I've seen/heard on the'02 was the short wheelbase. Many would flip the front arms over to gain the needed stability. The '03 looks...

The arms my friend printed fit great. But after seeing them I think they may be a little weak upon running. So I added some thickness and a little more material around the hinge pin and shock mount holes. I also modeled some rear upper arms and a rear hub to try. One of my principle efforts was to m...

I drew these up awhile back, but only recently got a set of calipers to ensure the measurements were correct. Arm Model.png A colleague from work gave them a print on his machine and they fit perfect. I want to make some refinements to them, but its a start. Geometry identical to stock just added on...

These shock towers are the ones form the Ultima Pro. You will find that almost every hop up the fits the Ultima, Ultima Pro, and Ultima Pro XL will also fit the outrage. Since Kyosho has re-released the Ultima, it should be easier to find replacement parts. You can also upgrade to the re-release tra...

I LOVE the design of the orignal losi 5 spokes. I only recently saw that JC was making them.
