Well I got my subaru body off the used section and all I did was flip over the front bumper which worked out awsome and raised the rear body mounts. Thats is to a stock type slash. These are pics with the stock wheels and tires which are a little big and I will be changing but still pretty cool looking and I think drivable with some suspension up travel limiters in the shocks. I will be driving soon and let you know. What do you think?
I'm looking for wheel and tire input? I know that rear jato with anacondas would look pretty cool but what others that are 2.2 not 2.8 and maybe bl do you think would look cool?

Lextronix · 02-01-2010, 04:11 PM

Nice, I have thought about doing this too. Do you know the make of the body?

Looks great!

62 bugzilla · 02-01-2010, 06:43 PM

Kyosho inferno gt is a 1/8 scale street car and has the same wb as a slash. The width is real close as you can see aswell. I want to see what you come up with if you do it. Good luck.

ROLANDROCKSHOP · 02-01-2010, 07:21 PM

thats pretty sweet!
i wonder if it would fit a 4x4 slash??

62 bugzilla · 02-01-2010, 08:12 PM

I think it would since I thought the 4x4 body fit a 2wd slash?

ROLANDROCKSHOP · 02-01-2010, 08:19 PM

sweet!!
im getn one!

hmmm....the 2.2 mesh wheels for hpi super's rs4's
should work as well...with some switches!

grob23 · 02-02-2010, 09:11 PM

I agree, the HPI mesh wheels would look perfect

On Switches or Geos...

Harley · 02-02-2010, 10:44 PM

I dig it!

TURTLE · 02-02-2010, 10:50 PM

Very cool. Some 8 to 10 spoke gold wheels would be my pick.
What about some proline dirt hawgs or dirt works?

Harley · 02-02-2010, 10:57 PM

Yeah some dirt works would look good, little lower profile.

62 bugzilla · 02-03-2010, 07:44 AM

I like those tires aswell and look like they would work well in the dirt and pavement.

renoirbud · 02-03-2010, 07:50 AM

that looks very cool.

MXRider · 02-03-2010, 04:36 PM

I think putting some buggy tires on it would look sick,

For now I put some older pede front and rear hweels on it that I painted black and have some street hawgs on them. It looks better with the lower profile tires on it but not the final set up just for now. I will post pics tomarrow.

62 bugzilla · 02-16-2010, 05:15 PM

I went back to the slash wheels for now since they look alot better than the 2.2 with low pros were to small. I ran it in the road with some snow and dirt and it worked awsome and looked pretty good. Still looking for a nice set of 2.8 wheels to put anacondas on. I will post pics soon.

Roketcooper · 02-17-2010, 06:47 PM

Get a 17mm hub conversion and run buggy wheels/tires, it will look alot nicer

No way! 90% of rally cars use a 15" wheel.
The buggy wheel will look wierd.

MadForce · 02-19-2010, 03:01 PM

My guess is you are looking for this wheel/tire combo

4xFord · 02-19-2010, 03:23 PM

Anyone have a link to that body?
