I am thinking about converting my M/T to a buggy, I am not overly happy with the performance aspect of the M/t. I love the burn-outs the M/T will do, but of all the videos I see, of the marders, hook and go! Whereas, my M/T just does a bunch of tire spinning and roll-overs. :2guns: I want the handling that a lower center of gravity can do for me. Wheelies are great for showing off, but I am tired of getting whipped, at the track, buy 1/8 scale buggies and Savages! :nono:
I am going to ditch the side plates, M/T tires and body. I will keep the 8 shock setup though. :cool2:
I will replace the M/T tires with the Marder tires and wheels, Then replace the body and mounts with a buggy body and wing. Gearing will be changed to the 20 tooth and 44 (I think that is the ratio)
I plan to keep all the M/T parts, so if I choose to use them later to convert back to the M/T I won't have to buy new parts.
What do you guys think? Am I smoking crack? Anything I should look out for? I believe the chassis' are the same, am I correct in this? :helpsmilie:
Thanks,
