The Traxxas 4tec 2.0 fits nicely inside the RC4WD blazer. Could make a cool bobbed lowrider blazer. Or stretch with a 4tec 3.0 chassis when the become available. Might make a good project for someone. Sent from my LM-V600 using Tapatalk |

Cool idea...tho, the hard plastic body could be a bit heavy for the chassis. But, if the Drag Slash body were to fit the 4Tec (2.0, 3.0 'Vette, or 3.0 hot rod), you'd definitely be onto something. ~ More peace, love, and kindness would make the world a much better place |

Thanks. I have been thinking about turning one into a drift car but I would have to make/buy a longer chassis that I haven’t seen yet. So I picked up a 4tec chassis kit, sold the brushed electronics and have a 3.0 chassis and parts. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

Most likely. It’s not going to be built for speed, and I don’t like 4wd drift cars. It’s just going to be a cruiser with upgraded electronics, probably on 2s Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Last edited by c0bra; 07-23-2021 at 11:01 PM. | |

As Panther mentioned, it is a pretty heavy body. I don't know how that would work out slinging it around corners at high speed. Sent from my LM-V600 using Tapatalk | |

All my friends know the low rider The low rider is a little higher Low rider drives a little slower Low rider is a real goer Low rider knows every street, yeah Low rider is the one to meet, yeah Low rider don't use no gas now Low rider don't drive too fast Personally, I have two 4Tec be 3.0s...one I'm 'lightly' building up for better all-around user, and the other I'll be building (with help/input from Richie (aka Driftomaniacs), who's a friend of mine) into a speed-run car. ~ More peace, love, and kindness would make the world a much better place | |

| Re: I don't know who needs to see this.
I got the parts to stretch the chassis and have put them on the car. If someone else is going to do this conversion, all you need is the chassis, driveshaft, battery hold down, and the plastic piece for the bearing in the middle of the driveshaft. It’s a very easy conversion! For the rear take off the motor mount and gear cover. The entire rear suspension comes off with 3 screws from the bottom and then slides off. The front suspension does the same thing but with 4 screws, although 2 are for the battery clip. Once everything is apart put the driveshaft on the 3.0 chassis and start putting everything together. I will post pics later on today Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

| Re: I don't know who needs to see this. This is not the body I’m going to be using on this build! Now the 4tec is flipped over in the pic to show how it will look. It definitely needs 2.2 wheels which I do have eBay special 2.2 onroad wheels already. To get this thing to sit right is going to require a LOT of cutting and I still probably won’t be able to run much of the stock interior if any. I’m ok with that, because I can just tint the windows so you won’t be able to see inside anyways. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

Looks like it needs some 22s to fill out the wheel wells.

Wow, that looks awesome. I love when people put hardbodies on on-road chassis(especially drag cars). It's kinda like hardbodies on crawlers, they won't scale a vertical wall, but a 1:1 wouldn't anyway.

The Superscale2020 kit can be used to simulate air ride though. https://www.superscale2k20.com/ Sent from my LM-V600 using Tapatalk | |
