I guess there's not a lot more to be said. What would be involved in converting and MR4-MT to a buggy?

There's the obvious, body mounts, tires/rims, body.

I ask ye of the Yokomo Knowledge?!?!

Thanks. Yeah, I was thinking the same. Most of the stadium trucks made before 95 or so were just the buggies with big tires and truck bodies.

It would be a pitty to convert into a buggy. Those trucks are so much rarer: as there never was a class for 4WD trucks they wre a commercial failure. I love the body: one of the best looking race truck bodies around.

I didn't end up getting the truck but now I wish I had for you Mr. ED. It was on Ebay.

Had bearings installed, U-joints in the rear (and had the original bushings and dog bones and axles to convert it back), sadly it didn't have a body. But it sold for $20.50 plus $27 for shipping. I missed bidding on it by 1 minute (had to get pictures done for my kids, but I wasn't bothered because it wasn't the buggy I truly want).

Now I regret it a little more.

Don't worry; I have more than I can drive already. (Read: I wish I could drive more , not: I wish I had less :lol: )

Which buggy are you really after then?

Ideally, a YZ-10 or an 870. But I gotta keep praying for the "deal" to come through on ebay LOL or someone wants to trade for a losi strike. :lol: :D
