if its just for kicks and the parts are spares already I dont see why not. although I dont know what your expectations are as it's unlikely to do anything more than run on flat dirt tracks and trails... |

that sounds like something you could bring to Vasquez and run in the dirt parking lot when we're eating lunch or charging the trucks back up...once a guy brought a full drift car and was running it in the parking lot, lol...

we had a guy bring a stock hummer with trail docs on it to a trail run, the indy was surprizingly capable. not quite as gracefull as it involved more high speed launches, but it only got carried through a handfull of rough spots.

yeah the hummer is the only 4 wheel independent truck that in know. theres more trucks that are front wishbone with rear solid axle. i think the real hummer failed in life also lol | |

My Traxxas 4tec from days gone by. With 2.2's it was surprisingly capable because of the low CG. Not so much with the 1.9's but it was fun. |

I was going to do with with my TA-02, but I didn't have a body with the right wheelbase. Looks like I need a body that is about 1" shorter than the standard proline blazer or ramcharger.
