| Indi 2wd
Something I worked up this morning with all the 2wd PreRunner craze going around I started with a old duratrax Nitro MT from the mid 90's,Shortened the arms and modded the shafts,My final width from hex to hex is 7 1/4",Lots of suspension travel,Motor will be rear mounted like a pede I just think its cool to find alternative uses for our old dusty r/c's I have an old S.S. body waiting for this.Id love to do this to a HPI RS4 MT 4wd Also I can make this 1 1/4" narrower easly |

This looks interesting. If I could find a kit to turn it brushless I would like to try it. Keep us informed with some updates.

Nitro MT you say? I have a project like this planned, but IFS front solid rear. I tried using a touring car front end but couldn't get enough droop. A narrowed stadium truck would be perfect |

seemed plenty powerful might have a slight push, and seemed like the suspension was a bit stiff or not enough travel. cool project |

All the Cambers and Toe-ins need to be set I was just running it to see if the juice was worth the squeeze,The nitro tranny seems to have a lower gear ratio than the electric trannies,best of all it has a gear diff,no balls here | |
