TL01 Buggy Converstion

[Gazzarose]

Hi guys,

Just bought a TL01 kit, bought it more for the shell, and am looking into whats needed to convert it to TL01B spec. Whats involver? Is it just as simple as longer arms and buggy wheels and tyres? Was just gonna use it as a rally car, but thought why not give it a bit more off road ability. And I reckon it would look pretty good with buggy running gear and a care type shell.

Would the parts I need be available on they're own on a seperate tree, or would it be a case of buying a tree with loads of parts that I don't want.

Cheers guys

AS its tamiya its trees im afraid  but you always end up needin those spares anyway 

well essentially yes the arms etc will need changing, i would image that the shock towers would also be different for a buggy and the car 

soo...

A-arms
driveshafts
push rods etc
shock mounts
shocks
wheels + tyres

essentially all that will remain the same will be the chassis (TL01)

It's actually pretty easy mate. Jimbob's almost right. You need the following:

-TL01B upper and lower arms
-TL01B driveshafts (Twin Detonator ones, they're 70mm long I think)
-TL01B steering tie-rods
-TL01B wheels/tyres

...and that's about it I think. Just remember to use small pinions, and don't use the Speed Tuned gear set. If you need help finding part numbers, then just say. Let us know how you get on!

Received my kit in the post yesterday morning. Took it home after work and it took me 2 1/2 hours including time to eat bangers and mash to build the chassis.

Ride height is a bit higher than my TT01 and it goes well on chippings and things. Gonna see how it goes before I do the convo, gotta try to start reining in my spending, ebay is evil!!! lol

Il let you know how it goes if I do it.
