Thanks Troy
hi mate...ive a evo 3 ultimate baja 1000 with hpi wheels...you will need taller shock mounts front and rear, longer drive axels to get width right, longer shocks and the body mounts you will also need to look for the side guards as the truck shell sits higher......
 
heres a pic, may help, they did do an ultimate monster, this is slightly different having no side guards king cobra used to make some alloy ones......

The Mcd scene not very big down under and your right would be a shame to convert the ralley to Monster truck not to mention $$$$

I might look for a cheap 2nd hand MT and do afew upgrades

Plastic wheels !!!! :w00t::w00t::w00t::D
Polished tyres as well !!

Keith, you know you can do it, 'just for Christmas', post up a couple of photos of a dirty ride, full of grass and mud!!

You know you can do it - not as if it hasn't rained enough this year, and particularly lately!!

If I take Blue Thunder out now, within 10-15 minutes, it's caked!!

All the best to both Keiths!!

I like all the aluminium support brackets you've made for the pipe and fuel lines

Now I know the shocks and shock mounts are different
but are all the A arms the same as the ralley or are they longer?

Troy
 
So basically all i need are F/R shocker's, shock towers, longer stub axles and wheels ?
