Converting my XB to a Onroad sports car

[ChuenouXiao]

I wonder if its even possible? What parts needed and so on? Has anyone tried it? I'm thinking about a very low profile style sports car Like a corvette or nissan skyline

I would have to say a good start would be tires and then the body mounts from the xt. The grafil rally body would be sweet

FG makes some pretty sweet Onroads. But, getting an XB slung low like a Skyline would be a challenge. Might even want to look at the onroad that Redcat used to sell.

Depending on what body you end up with will help with your wheel/tire choice.

Your XB is the same platform as the XBE that I am using for the Rally build. To keep it really low you can make yourself some shock limiters. If you add about 3/8 to 1/2 inch of fuel line to the shock shaft inside the shock. It will limit their extended length. I will be building a set for the rally.

That thing would be sweet!

Yep. You could probably get an FG body to fit it. Or an MCD lid.

Body mount? You mean the mount that holds the body in support?

Wonder if that body comes pre-cut and painted?

 

[maddmike]

The body mounts that attatch to the front shock tower cause the xb mount up front is down below shock tower.won't allow a car body

Those two pieces come together when you order the truck body posts.

Still say the X4 Rally body would be awesome.
