Hello All!
I came over from the Giant Scale forum to ask a couple of quick questions about changing bodies on a Kyosho Inferno. I searched through several previous posts, but I could not find anything on how to convert from the buggy body to a rally car body. I want to keep everything else on the car (gearing, shocks etc.) the same. I know I need different wheels and tires-I've already got them.

Are there any people out there who have made a similar change? [sm=confused.gif]

Could you relate to me how you mounted taller body posts, what you chose to use, and any pitfalls I might avoid?

Thanks!

Anybody?

What?
You don't like the guys from the Giant Scale forum? We're not bad guys...ours are just bigger than yours, that's all.

Some people think that we are just over compensating for something.

My wife says it is not true...at least when I ask her. [sm=tired.gif]

I'd like to thank all of you for your help. [sm=pirate.gif]
As it turns out, I went to three hobby shops and found out that most people who change their buggies to truggies, which means changing the body style (among other things), use a special body post to mount the new body. It is designed to mount directly to the shock tower and it has a collar that the body sets down on to protect the paint job.
Thanks again for your ideas and comments. You're all wonderfully helpful people. [sm=tired.gif]

You're welcome.

Well, that's what I get for asking questions in the kids' forum. [sm=lol.gif] When you grow up and get a job, try the Giant Scale forum...most of us are really interested in participating and helping each other out. [sm=biggrin.gif]

I don't think lack of interest to help out is the issue here. I guess most people here run/race buggies here and simply do not know the answer to your question. Maybe you can try the General Car forum next time.

Thank you, SManMTB, for your kind response. [8D] You may be right, but the fact is that the only way I got a response from anyone was after I made sarcastic remarks. I think that plenty of people read the post and I feel sure that there were at least a few ideas out there, but I got no help.

Adios!
