IMO, no, don't defile your buggy like that. i like trucks, I have an NMT which I love, but I would never consider turning a buggy into a truck. It's like those people who put ferrari bodies on the mk2 Toyota MR2 chassis. Yeh, they look good, and they still go like an MR2, but there's just something wrong with it. My opinion only...

If you want to do it, go for it, it's your car...

In fact, now that I think about it, it's more like putting an MR2 body on a ferrari...[&:]

ah it's all fun. After all they are just toys. And if you dont like it, you can just takes the wheels off etc and have your buggy again.
I have a ruggy conversion kit that doesnt even need the hex adapters. It has rims that have a big offset with buggy hex size rims. You just take the side pans off the buggy, and bolt the wheels on.. was fun for about 20min

if your looking to get a truck...........you have to ask your self what you are going to be doing with it..............if your a racer go with a storm sut, or a hotbodies lightning stadium. if you just want to tear up the neighborhood you will want somthing like a t-maxx (thats what i have and i luv it) or a savage............if you want to do both i suggest a revo.............just my opinion though. truggies are the hot ticket for racing but most tracks make you run in the unlimited class when you have one. and most of the guys who run there are hardcore-----meaning that they have spent many dollors on there "trucks", so its really hard to compete. hope at least some of what i said make sence.

the bigger tires take landings better but make any ajustments in the air 20x harder
