I was thinking the same thing, the fitment seems just right.

It seems some simple home-made body mounts are all that's needed:

Yes - on a Jammin X1CR

(we later sold the buggy, but I'm still thinking about the concept)

We run a brushless LOSI 8IGHT now. Vids are at www.YouTube.com/HandyRacing

Someone at our local track had a "Slash" entered in the Monster truck class last weekend...

(it was the last day of our indoor winter season, "fun-run" day)

Yeah, I did use the buggy chassis and the slayer body was a perfect fit on it and to installed the rear bumper I mounted on the wing mounts holes. I lov how it looks!!!!!!!!! Now I thinking about going to the hardware store and start working on the body cage, I don't know maybe something simple got to be carefull don't want to put too much extra weight on her.

Thanks...

I'm rather liking it, the whole CORR style racing, the crash and bang as normal everyday occurance is perfect for my "lack of" driving skills....

The guys in the regular classes get pretty uptight when they get bumped into by accident.

How about a CORR bug?

(Slash chassis with a bug body)



Ties right in with the Baja 500 roots?

Seems like a lot of people are in for a change, crawling and Corring. I'm thinking about the corr on a monster also but just so the monitor doesn't throw this off its a conversion from a Buggy

That guy kicked some but in the Oval fun run wiht the SlashBug.

How do you think the new SC10s will do on the track crashing and banging with the track proven sturdy Slash chassis in the CORR type classes this summer? Think they'll hold up to the same type of abuse as the Slash?
