Default REDCAT 8E BACKDRAFT VW CONVERSION

Hey everyone - I turned a 8e buggy into a monster bug! This was easy and this thing rocks!!! I used Landslide wheels and tires (17mm) and Proline VW revo 3.3 shell. I then added one of my paint schemes and then with shock towers that was it! I was going to have vids but the rain started - even with the center diff will still carry the front for a long time even off and on - thats control.

If you could have longer body posts there are many - this is the revo 3.3-max 3.3 proline body and I cut the fenders off so it sits real low - this truck is very stable like this as well.
