Default rear leaf conversion?

RC4WD 1/10 Trail Finder 2 RTR TF2 * REAR LEAF SPRINGS, SHACKLES & MOUNTS * Soft | eBay

I know this is ment for a tf2, is there any reason I wouldn't be able to use it as a base to convert to leafs? I know there will be some differences but that shouldn't be hard to over come.

You can make anything work if you're willing to put in the work. You'll need a way to mount the leafs to the axles and to the chassis.

I figured that it's not going to be bolt on and I need to drill holes for mounts since the rear is linked. I'm going to pull the trigger so I can get my wb set for my Blackfoot body.

If the housing is the right diameter the sawback leafs might be an option.

I was wondering the same but think the ottsix housings are closer to scx10 since that's the parts that work with them.
