this guy was willing to chop and drill. not me, (even though i did) it was cheaper to get nitro parts.

OK. This is cool.
But the thing that bothers me is that there’s no support for the back of the shock tower.

True. On my slash 2wd I run normal rear motor / tranny, I only have 2 screws which are connected to the trans case, there is supposed to be 2 other screws that are connected on top of the chassis, which I don't run those since the plastic stripped out, and so far it's been running ok (I'm running RPM shock towers btw)

I think that WickedFog would 3D print some sort of support.

Haven't seen him in a while.

He was the first one to greet me in the forum.
Correction, second. I’ll see if I can get in touch with him.

I’ll have to see this.

Oh yeah, and are the stock steering links compatible with the upgrade upper chassis?

 

[DavidB1126]

Yea should be the same turnbuckles from the electric to the nitro.

 

[luke66]

yes, but you need a new longer steering crank ( i did but i have a slash so I'm not sure)

 

[ZaneC]

Which steering crank did you use?

 

[luke66]

jennys rc has the crank on there, you should be able to find it. it has a black piece, mine was white.

I’ll have to see this.

look at the pics david posted. if you look close enough you see camber links on the chassis.

 

[ZaneC]

Would they be under Nitro Rustler 2.5?

That's how we did back in the day. My boys bandit on slash wheels was quick from a dig.
