Re: my rc10 buggy duratrax nitro conversion
Looks good but why the long 1.02 shocks in the front? I would either use a longer shock tower or smaller shocks. Keep up the good work!

Re: my rc10 buggy duratrax nitro conversion
I concur with Asso_man. I'd lose the long shocks, and I'm not sure but it looks like that rear tower might need brought down too? Keep this thing low and sleek otherwise it just looks like a truck with a buggy body on it.
One more thing. How well does that left rear suspension cycle with the muffler in there? Looks like the tie rod will hit.

Re: my rc10 buggy duratrax nitro conversion
well if i lower the rear shock tower than the body wont fit cause than it would hit the fuel tank, and than their would be a gap by the body and shock tower. the rear shocks cycle good no issues, but u r right i guess i need to mount the rod end to the under side of the bulkhead for more clearence. the front shocks well i wish i could find a taller fiberglass shock tower. i have a jg truck one but really doesnt fit the application well would have to cut it all up to fit.

Re: my rc10 buggy duratrax nitro conversion
jconcepts had these cool offset ball links, that might help with the muffler interference with the upper link. i think associated makes some now too, possibly others that have a kink in them.
discontinued but might be able to find some somewhere:

still available, notice the two offset ones in the picture:

might need to swap out your balls

Crazy how time flies. I knew these pictures looked familiar, then saw I replied to this thread, I looked at the date of the thread. Wow I can’t believe how long ago some of this stuff was.
