anyone converted a TC into a 4wd buggy

[Loheswaran]

I have an old Xray T2'008 TC gathering dust and was gonna try 4wd racing. I was wondering if anyone here has ever converted a TC into a 4wd buggy. It's not completely foolish, because the Losi XXX4 and XX4 were both a buggy and a TC.

I know my conversion won't have a slipper, but I was wondering the following:
1. which arms to get
2. which driveshafts

I want to keep the cost down because otherwise I will just buy a buggy instead

Its probably sound advice. You'd need a arms, drive shafts, new shocks, some wing mounting stuff and new bodyshell. Likely a few other things. Second hand would no doubt cost similar, maybe less.

TBH, similar to this came up the other week with converting a DEX210 into a DESC210.
Once you add up all the bits (arms, shock parts, wheels, hubs, driveshafts etc) you are looking at the price of a half way decent new car, so far more practical to sell the TC and buy new. Unless the TC is in a right state and unsellable.

Was awesome! My mate brought one many years ago and I had a blast, was so quick with an insane amount of traction!

It was a one man business in the US. I had some conversations with him about a few things.
