What to do with this thing? - 12.05.2010, 09:02 PM

well i picked up a Losi 1.0 truggy roller this weekend as an impluse buy. its in decent shape drivetrain is good and shocks hold oil, has the normal losi slop. new spare shock towers, all the nitro stuff still there too, has body, wing and others stuff too.


Needless to say i got a good deal on it thats why i bought it but honestly i dont need it. I was thinking of making it into a monster truck (locked center diff) or i dunno. If anyone has some ideas lets here them. Or if anyone wants to swap roller for roller PM me i don't want this turned into a trade thread but i would entertain trades on just about any other roller if someone else could could use this thing.

I've got a MRC Academy pro carbon fiber buggy I wasn't able to race at the local track (set up for trucks, ect). Complete roller, needs a body... I'll post up pics if you're interested?
Edit: 4wd buggy


If I could only draw what I see in my head, then afford to build it, and finaly get to play with it...

you can PM me

Does anyone else use one of these for bashing? how do the diffs hold up to big tires and big power?

Slap some buggy arms on and make yourself a bg on road basher. Lock the center diff and get some good (grp) 1/8 buggy size road tires. Gear for 50+ and have a blast!

I have a HB lightning street, basically a stretched chassis 1/8 buggy, and it is a ton of fun to bash with in parking lots and side streets. Much more durable than a 1/10 tc. Only issue is finding a cheap car body.... I run mine naked and save the skyline body for shelf display. Was thinking about making a body out of sheet something, real simple, like a 2 box hatchback or something like that.

never thought about a street/speed rig.... i guess really all id need is body big enough becasue i have some 1/8 rubber slicks. i also see losi makes a nifty little difflocker that would be nice to beable to swap in and out for the gears with out being permenant.

agian PM me if you want to trade me something wether it be money or another roller.... lol

bump, i threw some rc8t hubs on it so now you can use zero offset wheels and you dont have to have the funny losi offset wheels. So as it sits its about a half inch narrower and a quarter inch shorter wheel base than my rc8tce, so it should do well and be nimble while using the zero offset wheels now.

Still thinking about trading this thing off. because i just dont see me using it.
