MT-8ight... - 10.27.2008, 03:38 AM

Check it out....its definitely NOT a project X so i'm posting it in the buggy thread but i had this idea of having a 4wd MT not as heavy as a Muggy/LST2....or as big as a truggy.....and that would be easier to wrench on than a Revo....and i wanted something that had a center diff and was proven to be tough as nails.....so this came along....I call it the MT-8ight (monster truck 8ight )......you can only bash your buggy in certain places so i made my extra 8ight into a MT....here's some pics:

its basically an 8ight with the following changes:
-Mugen Wheel hubs X5T (hubs are approx. 10-12mm wider than stock...i think ....i'll give measurements later but they are a lot longer than the stock 8ight's)
-Dirt Dawgs mounted on Imex rims (the offset on these rims make the truck even wider)
-all shocks mounted on inside holes on towers
-body posts mounted onto the front and rear shock towers
-TBR front and rear bumpers/skid plates
-7,000 front 30,000 center 5,000 rear
-and of course the common MMM/Neu 1515 1/y/f combo on 4s 4800 zippy-r's...


and i figure if i get bored with this setup i still have another 8ight OR I can easily change this thing into a CORR truck b/c i already have the body posts mounted along with the front and rear bumpers.... let me know what you guys think...
