Thinking of converting my rusty 4x4 to a truggy…

[Lukedavis]

So far, I have found that the Tekno ET410.2 finisher body from Jconcepts would fit almost perfectly, and an associated wing and mount. I’m also thinking of going 17mm with the tekno hexes because I have tekno rear driveshafts and I’m going to get front ones at some point. Here’s the list so far:

Do y’all think it’s worth it? I don’t have the tekno hexes in the cart right now because it’s $30 for two

Highly intriguing. I had no idea any of these parts would fit. Has it been done before?

Not that I can find. People turn slash 4x4s into 1/8th buggy’s. STRC used to make a full aluminum chassis kit for the 4x4 slash. They still make an e buggy kit for it with wing mounts and stuff like that.

If you get that thing pieced together, its going to look sick!!

I too am intrigued by this. I turned my Stampede Truggy 4x4 into a Rusty for track racing. I just used a stock clear body and wing. Anxiously waiting for the end result.

I think I'll also update my rusty build thread with the plans for this conversion. I will try to get a job at Dairy Queen to earn money for parts and new cars.

Nah man mow lawns $45 each. ~1.5hr work if you take your time with a push mower = $30/hr

dq is like $10/hr

becomes really profitable after you pay off tools. Wish I did that when I was young lol

I had a lawn mowing business but I stopped doing it because school was starting and then my friends started it back up even though I told them to not start it without me and they earned a total of close to $3000. I only found out because I saw them mowing someone's lawn.

They had no plans to tell me or include me

This. Be your own boss. Mowed yards by myself, with buddies, even been on a few crews. If you can stand the heat it's very profitable and easy work. Besides nothing like coming home to your street all nicely maintained and you did it. As long as you don't cheap out on tools. If you can stay in local you can avoid truck note and insurance. Just keep your tools within eyesite. Lawn companies are a get rich scheme for thieves.

Depends on which side of the line you're on. Some will say 4wd stadium truck, and others say mini truggy. I'd call the Rustler 4x4 a mini truggy. One stadium truck FB group... users were forbidden to talk about/post pictures of 4wd stadium trucks, or mini truggies. Admin was constantly warning people. I got thrown out of that stadium truck FB group for calling out the hypercritical admin as he posted a video of a Rustler 4x4 launching onto of parking lot lamp post.

How I see it:
Stadium truck = 2wd
Mini truggy = 4wd

Kino truggy = 4wd

I just kept pokin' that hypocritical FB admin (from my previous post) with pics, and said something like "yep, no stadium trucks here"...

I'm not trying to start anything here. Call them what you want. It's just that I've waited many years, even decades, for 4wd stadium trucks to become a reality.
