In the summer I race on very bumpy loose outdoor old school dirt track. Its a blast but 1/10 car set up is tricky. For myself I love to tinker and try things that are different. I have a B5m for indoor and thats where it will stay. For outdoors I was running my vintage mid motor RCC RC10. Now I am trying a B4 for the rear motor weight. I had a thought that I am sure someone has done but thought I would ask. Has anyone put SC10 towers and shocks on a B4 to make a long travel bumpy track car?

Im not looking to do a J82 conversion. Iam talking b4,b4 arms with long shocks and towers off of sc10 or t4. I wonder if it has been done and also if the cvd's bind in the outdrive cause of the added travel.

Thanks

I didn't get the CVD's to bind when I had B4 arms mounted together with T4 tower/shocks/wheels in my J82.
In fact that J82-kind-of-buggy was the best handling 2wd buggy/truck I have ever driven.

yea i just want a b4 with t4 towers and shocks. now i need a t4 parts truck

Niki have pics of that car?

B4 rear end with T4 tower and shocks. You might need to drill one extra hole to tower and maybe cut one or two outermost off.
I ran rear shock in tower hole 1 and outer hole in arm.

That looks like the Jconcepts J82 (t4 with jc wheels and tires and body) ??

Yes it does, but it isn't. Rear end has only AE parts. B4 arms and CVD's, T4 rear wheels (not JC), T4/SC10 rear shock tower and shocks.
If I switch rear wheel from T4 to B4 on that car, rear end is just what you wanted... and it's working nicely.
