Another CORR conversion

[Shark413]

Well I just finished my Slayer to PE Revo brushless conversion so it was time to move on to something new. I owned both a Slash and Slayer, and I really liked the CORR truck concept. The Slash was fun but a little too slow for my taste, the Slayer was faster, but didn't handle as well as it should and it was nitro. The new Associated SC8 looks better but I already had a spare 1/8 scale roller sitting on the shelf so I decided that I would build a CORR style truck based on a 1/8 Kyosho Kanai nitro buggy. This buggy was previous converted to brushless, so the motor mount/battery tray was already in place. I bought a Proline Hardcore body and trimmed it to fit on the buggy chassis. I removed the 10mm offset hubs and replaced with standard no offset hubs. I added Ofna wheels/tires. Since the truck no longer had a rear wing and most of the impacts would be absorbed thru the body I wanted to retain the wide mounting of the Slash body mounts, plus they were made of some pretty tough plastic which would help the body absorb any crash damage. I wanted to mount them to the shock towers for a good strong mount, so I made some simple aluminum brackets, attached the Slash mounts to them and bolted them to the shock towers. The body mounts are both adjustable for height and pretty cheap to replace if they break. Next step, I will start work on the front bumper and nerf bars.
