Update : So it seems that the Jato shafts will not hold up to the power with these tires.I had blown a couple diffs,so I went with a diff locker .Once that weak spot was eliminated it's obvious that there is just to much traction for this drive train.I've decided to go with some 30 series badlands for this project. The conversion is pretty straght forward. Cutting the bulkheads seems to be the most technical part,but it's not difficult,just measure twice,cut once.After much looking and measuring it does seem that using the rear arms backwards adds about 1/2 degree of toe out on the rear.I can't notice it while driving,it tracks real straight.You can use them in the right direction,but then shock orientation must be worked out. All said and done though this is a very tough conversion.I have bashed it with the pure intention of finding weak lengths and have had nothing fail.(except the driveshaft)The width and length of this makes it very stable.I just think it would be better as a 1/8 scale Stadium truck instead of 2wd Truggy.
