MP7.5 to Suburu WRX conv.

[SavageHooligan]

1/8 Buggy Afficianato's (spell check required) I want to build a Suburu WRX body on a Kyosho Inferno MP7.5. The "drive" is to build a WRX that has a inch plus ground clearance, Big-Block engine, Haulin A, Suburu, that's not confined to Ummmmm.... Anything. Anybody have experience with this, or suggestions?

Question number two; What a bout a two speed Tranny on this creation?

It should be funn!

You have just to buy some pieces from the Kyosho landmax, basically the front bumper and body posts. I'll suggest you to shorten the shock stroke and adding hard rally springs to avoid the weels scratching the body. This is a front view from my transformed MP7.5.

Yes is an air intake, you have more pics in the members projects forum. The filter is the red foam, the other hole is for engine cooling only.

Creative Kazi! I've got some pieces from my header off my real car lying around. Maybe I should turn it into something.

Whew, thats is "WHAT I'M TALKIN ABOUT"! It looks like there aint much stock about your screamin MP7.5? Hows the durability off the ummmm (I crash alot)? The Kyosho is a tuff mutha? Whats up with the Kianai III (or II) cost! $700.00 plus with no radio, servo, or engine! Is it worth the extra (HUGE) cash? Oh did I say (yess I crash alot)

As far as you have a huge front bumber, you will not have many breaking problems if you crash a lot. I'm a big fan of Kyosho, in my opinion they make the most durable and reliable cars, but I have to admid that is very tempting to buy cars like the PBS PRO, that come whith many hop-ups for less money.
