jumping on the CORR short course truck bandwagon
here is just a few pics so far , abit of a sneak peak . still a fair bit off being 100% . i having alot of trouble getting a slayer/slash body in australia because the cars them selfs have just come out ova here so there is no spare parts yet but oh well . i also have to raise the car and put heavier springs in it and might p1ss off the wing mount and make a full alloy roll cage , i cant start that tho till i get the body .
MUGEN MBX5-R ProSpec buggy 1/8
Go-tech 3port with cnc aftermarket head
hpi savage X 5.9 fron and rear bumpers plus alloy bash platess
custom body posts and mounts.

Looks like its gonna be a nice conversion , good thinking on the flipped over T MAXX body mounts . Whose bumpers are those ?

You may want to get one of the Proline bodies , if you get a stock Slayer/Slash body the holes will be pre drilled and wont line up .

cheers mate , should look good when its done , and there savage front and rear bumpers and bash plates . and yeah i would love the pro line versions of the slayer body but its just hard to get them . its gunna cost me $100 to get one brought in from the states. so any body at the moment would be good proline or traxxas.

Check out the body from the Associated SC8, its nicer looking than the Traxxas one.

yeah iv been thinking about that they look tons better . if im gunna end up spending $100 aus on a body i might as well get the sc8 clear body from the states for $120 they look sick .

I dont think the SC8 body will fit , the wheelbase on the SC8 is longer so its not going to line up .

If it did , thats the body I would have done ....

welll guys i got bored and seeing how i cant get a slash/slayer proline or traxxas body ova here i just went out and got a revo desertrat body lol i no i no its way to narrow but i think it looks ok for the mean time till i get a slayer body . i think it turned out good for a 2hr cut and paint job . what ya think. its a lil funny looking but looks tuff as **** ripping

Not bad , kinda reminds me of a MT2 .

hhaha cheers mate yeah a lil like the mt2 just bigger one thing tho its a real pain refueling it the tank is a fair way from the windscreen.

nice paint job! remember to get the thicker body when you do buy that slayer body!

Looks like a nice start! Keep us posted w/ your project.. Ive been wanting to jump on the CORR bandwagon as well just not sure which way to go yet. i have a losi muggy, but it looks like it would be a lot of hassle To fit a SC8 body on it. It is the right length and wheelbase but the arms/cvds/ turnbuckels would all have to be narrower to tuck the tires in the body... It would be cool to convert what we have then spending big coin on new ride!!

i think this was our thinking too...it sure saved me a bundle of cash. if this was not an option, i think i'd blow it all on the sc8...man toss in a litle cash and you could up it to 1/5th scale with a gas engine. ~$700 is a hefty price to pay for a nitro...for me anyways

Yea- thats a hefty price indeed. Not that the SC8 is not worth it, just more then I can spend. I love the 1/8th buggy/ truggy platform of the SC8. But to convert my Muggy Id need to find buggy arms that would fit, since it shares suspenion bits w/ the LST2 that seems like a longshot. It would be easier to start w/ a truggy that had a buggy cousin- but thats not cheap either I may price rollers on ebay and see what looks cheapest. Or maybe just look at the Slayer. They are getting cheaper on ebay.

look for a used hyper buggy or sum thing like that , somthing ex-race thats done a few seasons . you will find sumthing.

yeah OFNA has an army of buggies the nice thing about that is that most of the parts are interchangeable. i found this out when i bought my hyper 7 from ebay, it came with three different arms. the rears are from somthing old and the fronts were new hyper 7 and old hyper 7. there were varying shock mount spots but overall it was no issue and functioned just fine. i ended up getting a complete set of arms just to make it even. My buddy has an ultra comp lx1 buggy and i compared his to mine...his has way more ground clearance then mine. If you're looking to build a truck, you might as well build it to tackle nasty terrain[>:]...hehe my iner savage 4.6 SS is comeing out.

Thanks for the tip- It would be nice to have a little more travel/ clearence for a truck..I was just looking at KRO's CORR truck post-Hes got a cool truck that was simple to convert.
