8ight B ver 8ight T parts question

[jfruge]

Does anyone know how many parts are different from the 8ight B and 8ight T ? I wasking thinking of ordering a Tekno RC V3 Brushless Kit for Losi 8T (w/ 4mm chassis) when they come out and using an extra 8ight B I have here if possable.

Thoughts?

So you want to make your B into a T? I'd bet that it'll be more trouble that what it's worth. At first guess, I'd say as a minimum, these would be different:

Shock Towers
A-Arms
CVD's (F/R/C)
Chassis braces

Your best bet is to pull up the pdf's of the two vehicles and compare the P/N's against each other.

So it sounds like it will be better to find a roller "T" !

That is what I wanted to know.

Thanks,

If you want to get your B into a T the "quick and dirty" way, you could just mount larger tires on the buggy, and then regear to compensate. You won't have the length (the T is probably a little longer than the B but I dunno), width, or suspension travel of a true T though. Also, you'll have to come up with your own body mounting scheme.

I saw an 8T with a buggy body and I thought it looked cool.. Makes the tires look like monster truck tires..

I've built both an 8ight and an 8ight-t and they both have similar parts and you save a ton of money having two trucks made by the same company that shae the same parts...here's a short list:

-Front and rear shock towers are different
-front/rear/center cvd's are different
-front/rear a-arms are different
-8ight-t chassis is longer
-body post mounts are different(8ight-t body posts are screwed onto the front and rear shock towers and the 8ight body posts are on the front and rear shock towers but in different places)
-side mud guards are different
