Will other ZZ bodies fit on the MT chassie?

i tried the hemi cuda and it fits pretty well. the front tab on the chassis doesn't flex much so it's a little difficult getting the bodies on, but i think the basic dimensions are the same.

ok, i kno this is *semi* stupid, but would it be possible to mke it an On roader? like a 1/10 touring. The 4wd could keep it on the ground. just a though..

not sure what you mean... the top of the chassis sits about twice as high as a normal zip. it's always gonna look like a monster truck.

here's a little video of the truck. stock motor and gearing with the hemi cuda shell.

i knew all the toys i buy my 3yr old would come in handy...

Much cooler than I expected!!!!!!!!!

I'm very happy that they aren't tank steering!!

It actually goes over stuff too!!

Nice body. MMMMM....sexy.....

wow. I'm impressed. It totally squashed all in it's path. It looks to be difficult to keep control going over stuff , but it looks like fun. Lots of fun!

Cuda body?

factor: 10

Do You mean like a AWD car instead of monster truck, like a skyline, with normal ZZ rims, so it looks like a car? That would be pimp though, an AWD ZZ skyline with FET's, etc.

Would that work Richh?

A Skyline is way to original of a car to do that to.

Is that the only car that exists for kids to think about?

How about a Finks VW Cab. or a Superfly Supra?

not easily. the front steering blocks are way too tall for normal sized wheels. all the gearing in the back would have to change as well. then there's the chassis which is way too tall. not saying that it can't be done, just that it would be major surgury.

No it's not the only car "kids" think about, I mean It was just example of an AWD car, like an EVO, or WRX STi, 3000GT or even an eclipse.

click the link and wait for it to load.
it's pretty big, almost 9 MB so it'll take a little bit to load.

Wow, this is along the lines of too good to be true. Time will tell though eh? Oh, what about Run time? I would imagine that even though it is dual celled the 4WD and light combo would bring this down. Well either way, this is getting me motivated to make my half and half track I have been thinking about. You know, a track w/ a on road and off road coarse, crossing over eachother, but two independant tracks on one board.

i haven't timed a run start to finish, but last night i was playing with it on a stale charge for 5 min (no lights, stock motor) and it was still going strong at the end.

more pics...

Hmm, what are the odds that key parts in the front suspension could be shaved down to give us more travel? What is limiting the suspension travel?

Later,
