Don't know where to post this, because it's kind of a weird idea...

So I already have a Losi 22s drag car and I'm thinking about getting a TLR 5.0 because that Proline Pinto body takes me back to going to the drag races as a little kid.

So I plan on at the minimum, putting the front & rear body mounts for the Pinto body. My crazy idea is; could I possible have a 2nd Pinto body and run buggy wheels/tires just for some bashing? Of course I would have the 2nd body cut to accommodate said wheels. Is this feasible, or would it be a big hassle to swap over, considering ride height and any other accommodations I've overlooked?
 
The suspension travel on a buggy is usually pretty long stroke. Drag cars, not so much. This would require a buggy body to sit much higher or your drag body pretty odd looking. 🤣
Sounds like a cool project tho.
I REALLY like that Pinto body!!!
I hope you find a way to make it work! 😎
