Default RE: TRAXXAS BANDIT TO BAJA BUG CONVERSION

Sorry to awaken a sleepy thread, but I just wanted to give appropriate props for the build. I too built a similar Baja Bug last summer, based on a Rusty chassis, but back then only the MT sized Baja bodies were available from Pro-Line (they had just licensed the design, and Losi were in the process of pulling all their unlicensed copies off the shelves). To increase the wheelbase I flipped the front suspension (revsered A-arms, wheels now in front of the shocks). However, not only was this setup still short of the required wheelbase, it messed up the steering geometry greatly, so the project was more or less shelved. I recently dusted it off and decided to mount the body on my E-Revo instead (one of the trucks the body is designed for), and spent the entire day trying to figure out what to do with the deviant chassis, till I came across your build thread. Thanks for the pictures, and the novel idea of extended the chassis length, I'll be implementing the same soon.
