Default RE: TRAXXAS BANDIT TO BAJA BUG CONVERSION

ORIGINAL: lordtec

what tires/rims did you decide to use for it when its finished? might look good with some slash tires on it.... painted body looks great,was it done with airbrush or rattle can?

For the track I have a set of Proline 2.8 rustler wheels on order. The rear is going to wear Proline 2.8 Bowties and the front will run the stock Traxxas rustler ribs. I'm hopping Proline will release a 2.8 version of the edge fronts but they said there is no current plans to do so.

For the beach I have a set of paddles mounted on old rusty 2.2 rims. Haven't decided on what I'm going to run on the front but I'm limited to either a buggy front or 2.8 or larger wheel.

Right now I have the truck sitting on a set of Proline beadlocks and switchs and I do like the look but hate beadlocks so the new one piece split six wheels could be in my future.

The body was painted with rattle cans.
