Converted Traxxas Fiesta to Maxx body

[64Corvette]

I could not configure my suspension on my CLIPLESS Fiesta body so that it did not drag badly when turning. (more preload and stiff springs still not enough). Although I could have converted to the old clipped design, I went another route by mounting a Maxx body in place of the Fiesta. and removing the clipless mounts.

Required minor body trim due to the wheelbase difference, trimming the front Maxx mounting tab, and adding a clip mount. Works for now, and may explore getting the parts for CLIPPED mounting of the Fiesta body. Normal ride height is lower, took photos before I backed off on the pre-load.

Looka like it might he pushed slightly forward in the chassis. Otherwise, it looks like a pretty close fit!

Wierd that you couldn't trim up the Fiesta body and function.

Broke a front a-arm last time out so went back to the foam front bumper for a little better protection.
