23cc baja conversion

[Fireman15]

Hey guys how hard would it be to convert a king motor 23cc Baja buggy to look like a 5T, or T1000 truck?

wheels, bumpers, body posts, and body will give you the look but wont be a true conversion.

How would it not be a true conversion?

because the t or sc has a beefier drivetrain, and bigger engine.

Gotcha so would that make the T1000 faster than the 5b. Or slower because of the weight?

 

[cdewalt1985]

I believe they are a little faster due to the bigger engine, they have HD dogbones, Beefier diff and beefier trans, if im missing anything please someone chime in and help out.

Not just a bigger engine will make any car faster a 30.5 cc engine will have more torque but a 26cc or 29cc engine will have higher reves then a 30.5cc engine which will provide top end. Out of the box engines no mods.

well yes rcspeed but im just trying to tell him what he needs to make a true conversion. My 27cc promod will smoke any stock 30cc so yes bigger engine doesn't always mean more speed but if im wrong about any of the other things needed for a true conversion please feel free.

I do not see any difference in any speed with the 30.5cc baja or the truck they are the same speed in both. Installed the 2 speed in both and they are both still the same speed and quickness if anything the baja may be a little faster.

 

[cdewalt1985]

the b probably is faster just due to the wieght difference.

yea and the side post mounts are different that's it.

 

[cdewalt1985]

sorry I forgot about the side pods.
