Converting Raze to a Sand Buggy

[reno911]

So I picked up a duratrax raze for zilch and ran it to its death. Rod blew after 380 degrees or so of running it leaner and leaner So now it will join the rest of my RC's and go electric.

I have read through a lot of the posts here and thought this would be something I could contribute.

Right now I have the chassis set up and finished the diffs and springs with fresh fluids... I might redo the center with diff locking putty. Mocked up the servo mount, and awaiting the motor mount and battery tray from here.

Pics are missing the wing but I was dying it black it will be added shortly.

I am also thinking of de-anodizing the aluminum parts and drilling/cutting a lot of the chassis out to let sand pass through.

I will also have to give a shout out to my local hobby shop CKRC Crawlers whom happened to have a rare set of Proline Slingshots just chilling out on their shelves. Odd but hell benefited this build perfectly. Actually the build is mostly due to those new shoes.
