Summit front end in a rock racer?????

[dan1061986]

So i was mulling over wanting a selectable locker in my rock crawler, and thinking about how sweet a ifs wraith would be, and it hit me.

Custom Rock racer, Summit LT front end, solid axle out back, Remote front locker, win win?

From what i can tell axial axles have the same ratio as the summit diff, but the next hurdle is width. Does anyone have a hub to hub (or WMS to WMS) measurment on the LT front end?


Also if this sounds like a good idea to anyone feel free to steel it. Just give me some credit in your build post. I wont be getting to building it any time soon.

Followup questions for the Summit Experts. Would the front end hold up to that kind of abuse? I haven't even seen a Summit in person, how is the front of the truck put together? Is the design transplant freindly? Or is it all held together by injection molded plastic framework?

If you're talking about the 1/10 scale Summit, I'd considered it...but that's a LOT of width to make up.

Is your summit "LT"ed? Or are those the stock suspension arms?

Long travel pushrods and RPM arms.

Right, but what i am talking about is people who have replaced the suspension arms with those from a <s>slash</s> Slayer pro, reducing the width by roughly 6 inches from what i can gather.
