Anyone ever build a "worlds" style buggy with a t2 chassis?

Post by glastornjet73 »

I was doing some thinking last night and am in the middle of a graphite worlds build and i though heck why couldnt a guy use a t2 chassis to build a "worlds" style buggy? You would have a 2.6 trans newer atyle pan with the higher ground clearance on the sides and litterally all you would have to so is change arms and rear axles steering bellcranks add a front mount to one of the bellcrank bolts and come up with a rear body mount and wing mount... Wouldnt be that hard to do really just a thought... Has anyone you know of tried it? Im thinking i might

Copied the rear and made the front. I just used a stock tower as a template and narrowed it up

That thing is awsome i guess im gonna have to pick up another t2 to do one if these out of! Did you shorten the wheelbase of yours like scr8p did? I didnt realise the pan was longer... I know there is a longer mount hole if truck form but i figured the standard holes were regular rc10 length...

They all look good, I have one up on the planning block myself somewhat different insired then those. It is basically going to end up a white nylon team car with t2 pan, this is the mock up pic of it before I sent out the tub to be reano'd. There is much left to get before it's done though.

Did you redrill the pan to use the older style stealth? Or you come up with a diffrent style trans brace? My biggest thing i was thinking would be cool is the use of a more modern 2.6 ratio transmissions that the t2 had to offer
