QUESTION:
Hey Tony. I am 12 years old and have been in the hobby for six years now. I want to convert my Traxxas 1/10 Rally to a 1/8-scale E-buggy. Any idea for what parts I should use, specifically for the front bumper and body? John D. Scarsdale, NY
ANSWER:
Hi John, Since the Traxxas Rally is based on the Slash chassis, there are a couple 1/8-scale conversion kits to choose from. We’ve really only tested one and that’s the STRC conversion. The STRC kit includes beautifully CNC- machined aluminum wing mounts, front and rear kingpin blocks, front bumper, front and rear body mounts and a host of hardware to put it all together. ThiskitworksbestwiththeLCGsetup, but thankfully your Rally comes with that as standard equipment! You will still need to get 1/8 wheels and tires; check your local track to see what’s working there, a 1/8 body; STRC suggest the JConcepts Tekno EB48, Hot Bodies Ve8, Team Associated RC8e, Mugen Eco or Losi 8IGHT-E bodies, a 1/8 wing and Slash 17mm wheel hex adapters – also available from STRC! Good luck and send us a pic of your final build! I’d love to see it!
Thanks for contacting me! Tony
