Convert a 410sl into et 410.2

[hood52]

Has anyone converted their 410sl into a et 410.2? I’m guessing I would need a new chassis, drive shafts , bumpers and body mounts. I’m not sure about the a-d blocks. Is there anything else I’m missing or would this be more expensive than it’s worth.

Just start putting the parts costs together and it's about $195 if you use the SL's motor mount and wheels/tires. Depends on where you shop. Throw in some springs possibly anti-sway bars, if that's important to you, for additional costs. Me... I'd just buy a new ET410.2 kit for $375-ish, because I couldn't be without either of them.

Yeah, I figured it would be around $200 to do the swap. But a new kit is $450. I already have optional sway bars and springs but I did forget about the motor mount being different. Thanks

Buy a lollypop (I usually add diff seals to order to be able to use next highest coupon code), and a kit from FierceRC, $45 off coupon code... just a hair over four bills. Or, if you hurry and beat me to it, two ET410.2 sliders on RCTech. I'm in the mood for more ET410 platforms, but have to be realistic... daughter be driving soon.

We could split the RCTech cars. You pay for both, I get one!

I don't know where the other one is, and I don't normally like to buy used RCs (I like "the build"), but if this one was cleaned up I'd be making an offer on it by now...

The fact that it's not clean just turns me off. Am I weird for that?

 

[luke66]

I agree with that. If it's not clean it could be nasty underneath too.

I got to finally drive a mini truggy yesterday, what a blast. But I've decided to keep the sct for now. Maybe down the road I'll get a mini truggy, but I'm waiting for Tekno to release a new ET48 2.whatever.

Glad to hear mini truggy test drive went well.
Waiting for the ET48 2.0... that's how I ended up with a Kraton EXB .
