1/8 Nitro buggy converted crawler???
<o> </o>
Has anyone taken a 1/8 scale nitro buggy and turned it into a crawler? I was thinking of using the front and rear end like a Maxx crawler, locking everything up, and then build a tube frame and so on. Would it work?

I'm working on one now "thumbsup"

It might work but I think it would be hard on clutches and be hard to keep the motor cool and not load up.Who knows,give it a shot."thumbsup"

First off...............nitros can't crawl.

Maybe I was just thinking past the obvious, we all know nitros don't crawl. But I assumed you would lock the axles solid, like maxx, and use an electric motor on some type of center transmission. Not 100% clear on what the original posters intent was.

I know nitros dont crawl. I was going to use the front and rear for parts like a maxx crawler. I just have a buggy and i dont use it much so was just thinking of other options .

Cool, that's what I figured you meant. It would be extra work than just locking the suspension out, but I've played around with the idea of making Poulson-style axles with 1:8 buggy parts. Just toss in a tranny strong enough to handle it.
