Build: 5ive T Buggy

[tacky187]

This is a pretty quick build. I've always preferred buggy to SC truck for driving style. So I decided to take one of my trucks convert it to buggy. It's pretty easy:

• Front Bumper - Any 5ive B or SLT bumper will work: https://fearlessrc.com/product/RV152109/
• Front Body Mount - https://fearlessrc.com/product/RV152112/
• Wing - There are a couple of options here.
  • 30 DNB V2 Wing:

    • This will not fit the stock shock tower, but I think it's a much better quality wing, so I printed an adapter you can see in the pics
  • SLT Wing:

    • https://fearlessrc.com/product/RV152114/
    • https://fearlessrc.com/product/RV152115/
    • This is made for the V5 conversion and fits the stock tower; the body mounts move above the shock tower; it's a bit too flimsy for my taste
• Body - There are a couple of options here.
  • Grafil Magma "long body" made specifically for this:

    • This is the body you see in the pics
  • SLT V5:

    • This fits with the SLT wing listed above better, but is pretty flimsy, so you'll want to E6000/Cement Board Tape it

This keeps the truck's long chassis and long arms while converting the drivability to be more like a buggy. The 5ive B is my favorite 5th scale vehicle, but this thing is right there. It's tons of fun!
