Instead of everyone starting a new thread for their CORR trucks/Conversions, I though maybe one thread were everyone can compare notes etc would be beneficial. I haven't got a CORR truck but am definately interested in finding a 2nd hand roller, and making one. I can see this becoming very popular in the very near future, based on the few I have seen.

Post away folks, look forward to seeing them all here

Here are some more pics. I have taken off the aluminum hub carriers and put plastic ones on because the front tires were sticking a bit forward so I had to do some suspension mods and didnt want to shave the aluminum hubs. I also dont like how you can see inside the truck from the front wheel, so I did some custom work so you cant see inside anymore. Looks clean and I am going for a realistic look. Looks like my bashing days are over.

Look above the front wheel. Cant see the insides anymore. I know I am a loser []











Any my rot, Racco!

I am trying to convert my buggy to a CORR truck, but all I got so far is a truggy type thing, lol. I started with a sportwerks mayhem pro and changed the front shock tower along with the front shocks. Then I replaced the whimpy little .26 with a Dynamite .28 with tuned pipe. Got some bigger tires and a losi body (cuz I have yet to find a truck body that will fit 1/8). I am gladly accepting tips, pointers, ect.

Here is my conversion, a Kyosho Kanai 1/8 buggy converted to CORR style truck. Added a Slash front bumper, Slayer rear bumper, Proline Hardcore body and some custom body mounts. I also converted the nitro Kanai over to brushless power.

sweet front shocks. Where did you get 'em?

adam-69

look like cen shocks to me?

Shark413

Yup, CEN shocks off of a Matrix buggy. I added the optional CEN piggyback reservoirs because they look cool.

adam-69

any performance increase or is it purely aesthetic?

HerrSavage

What do I need to do to convert my RC8? A list of parts would be swell.. Thanks..

Shark413

Regarding the shocks, I don't really notice any diference. But then again I don't run the truck for more than 10 or 15 mins at a time. I hear that the extra oil provides more consistant dampening when used for longer periods that actuall heat up normal shocks.

IloveMYxt2

You might need a new front shock tower or new body posts. Some custom work is needed. For the rear body posts, some just use the wing mounts or you could take the wing and wing assembly all off and use the rear shock tower to put the body posts. Some front and rear bumpers and a Proline hardcore slayer body.

cool thread! i think i will be doing one of these conversion's in the near future as well seeing as i have 2 matrix FRE buggies.

so is all that is needed is slayer/slash F/R bumper's and some modded body mount's?

pete8541

I see people are using the slayer rear bumper, will the slash bumper work?

Saber186

I haven't even begun to think about bumpers yet...My wallet is already in the corner sobbing from buying the body,wheels and tires yesterday...LoL

The slayer bumper is easier to mount. Most use a piece of aluminum bolted to the bottom of he car like a skidplate, bend it up at the back and bolt the slayer bumper to it. The slash bumper mounts to the tranny case and bolts through the side, harder to adapt for a buggy. The slayer bumper is also longer making it easier to mount in the correct position.

Got the wheels and tires mounted....starting to look like something


Just got the body painted and mounted.I'm getting some Mountain Dew logos and numbers made for it to dress it up a bit

Ive ordered a bunch of parts to convert an Ofna Dominator to a short course truck. Im getting the impression the only way to do tires and wheels is by using the stock buggy 17mm hexs. I ordered a set of Slayer tires and wheels thinking I could change my 17mm hexs to 14's but after some more looking I dont think thats gonna work. Does anyone know of a short course truck wheel and tire combo for a 17mm buggy hex? Ive got good buggy wheels and tires now but Id like a set of beadlocks.

I thought CORR trucks were 2WD. They look like buggies with truck bodies to me.

My Feedback: (11)

Real CORR trucks have 2wd (pro2) and 4wd (pro4) classes. RC CORR racing is only a 2wd class, but the bodies for 1/10 CORR trucks fit perfectly on a 1/8 buggy. And yes that's what has been done here, because we like the look.
