Rc10 T2 buggy

Where to begin... After acquiring parts for different projects and changing directions midway this buggy finally took form. After seeing scraps b1.5 build awhile ago i always wanted to build something similar if i ever came across a t2 for a doner. Well after ditching my OIN build and all that other crap to run b4 wheels on a team car i had some parts and scored a t2 really cheap. This project is a runner, sort of a t2 OIN or b1.5 OIN,
Here is the start t2 roller
added dyno tech front arms, wide gt axles. I also enlarged the front tower for the body to fit in. I would really like to put the rpm world tower on the front or a bigjeepz tower. But i'll focus on that when i start tuning it more.
for the back i am using 1.5 mounts and 1.5 hubs with b44 rear cva's avid flanged bearings, and what ever size crush tube that works, pretty sure they are b4.
for the body i am using a jconcepts illuzion for the RB5 it fits the chassis pretty well and i had to mod the front for the extended wheelbase of the t2 chassis. it also lines up with the t2 rear tower pretty well. If i get a buggy tower on there at some point i think the illuzion for the traxxas bandit will fit almost spot on.
i took out a tie rod last week first lap, so i just put it away and went back to my team car. it drives well, with a little bit of time with set up i am sure it would a treat to drive. the rear t2 tower works well, i used the inner most holes i could.
and some rc18b wing mounts using the stock body mount position in the tower.
