E-Revo to E-Slayer conversion Project

The plan
- Make her into a mockup Slayer
- Use an Ofna GTP Porsche 911 body with stock arms maybe a Rally theme paint (body is about 13" while the wheel center to center is about 13.5"- 14" or so (buggy wheels but it will be sticking out of the body)
* or option is to get the Slayer suspension parts and Body
TBD
- RCM Revo Hybrid Truggy diffs
- Run a 2 x 2S2P 8000mAh TrueRC Lipo (4S) or fit my 5S2P A123 cells
- MMM V2 (I cancelled the order so this will have to wait)
- Powered by a direct drive to diff AXI 4120/18 (custom mount from Travis [MetalMan])
(Similar direct drive from sykeston34m)

Chassis is still being worked on by Travis so most of the parts are on hold. What do you think with the other things?

PS: Those who can help me with getting a used Ofna GTP 911 Porsche body just so I can test it, please PM me, thanks.

I did a body mod years ago when I needed a wider body...cut out the center of a clear slash body about 3 inches wide and paint it the color of the center section of your paint sceme and paint another body with a solid color in the middle and keep all your graphics to the sides. Cut it down the middle. Take the 3 inch section and mark your width. Run a bead of shoe goo on the 3 inch sections edges so the glue doesnt squeeze on to the main body. Staighten every thing out and tape it. When the glue is dry turn it over and spread the shoe goo out on both edges and bed every thing with fiberglass tape. I put in a few small screws and nylon nuts along the seam line.

Interesting Idea....I might save this for future use... For this project I have resorted to shorter arms instead of a wider body...

Thanks for sharing

If you decide to go back to full width, could you just image how good the handling would be. I've seen the nitro version and if you put any tires that are even remotely better than the stock ones, roll over city on a high bite track. I have a brand new stripped roller with trans that I was going to do a tekno set up on and I decided to dump it for this reason and cant even get any takers. I think full width with the widened body would be hardly noticable(vision wise) and quite deadly for a track/ basher. If I cant get rid of the roller, I might go the other way and get all the long arm parts and plastic chassis and widen the body.
