Need Advice Converting DBXL-E to MTXL :)

[tim3]

I have a hankering to turn my DBXLe into a monster truck.
What would I need suspension wise to do a conversion?

I will gear down because of increase tire size.

Would there be need for hex wheel extensions ?

I think the chassis shorter on the DBXLe and if it is, that wont bother me.
Thanks

mtxl chassis is 22mm longer then the db`s....so both centre shafts r of equal length on the mt.........thk the arms r the same......but the rims have massive off set to add the mt`s width........the fr/rear chassis braces r diff to on mt............spur is a msssive 67t......pinny 15t..........shoxs r the same as db .....as r most others bits.......u will need the body mounts aswell ...and u will need atleast 10s+ to get it to a decent speed imo.....as its almost 17kg`s in stock form with them huge tyres to get moving...

evssv, thanks for the response

So it is looking like other than the DBXLe shorter chassis, I will be good just gearing down and just adding the MT tires.
You know, the buggy is already fast and maybe with the shorter chassis and high C/G from the big tires, it will be more inclined to give out free wheelies, that would cool
I am looking for more bashing fun from the DBXLe .
I have a gas rovan lt 32 I like to drive as its run times are so much longer.
I hope to get the new Kraken 1/5 VEKTA.5 TSCO Desert Truck in the beginning of next year - hopefully.

I looked around and found the 67T gear, but I wonder if there is a bigger gear than this? I didn't see any.
