Tekin made a truck version of the mid motor chassis kit. I never saw one built though. I've only seen the buggy version (I owned 2). I'd love to find a truck kit for sale.

just the rears. what you need for the tekin chassis is a complete 10t front end... including the steering bellcranks, a stealth trans, rear arm mounts, dogbones/cvd's, hub carriers, rear shocks, and misc. hardware.
I'm sorry to bring this thread back from the dead but i have a tekin mid buggy in great condition and had been thinking on doing it as a truck and wanted to know the kit differences
Based on the above, it appears the only things that were different between the truck kit and buggy were the rear arms and rear shock tower, but if i don't want to use the active camber suspension (which i dont) then i can use standard 10T rear arms which just leaves the shock tower.
If its possible that someone has a tower they could give me measurements for, i can get my mate to make them out of CF or G10
Just got inspired by some threads on the Tekin conversion to post an old build. As per usual I had collected parts for a long time and wanted to build a mid motor conversion for vintage racing on modern carpet tracks. In 2014 I was ready to assemble...

.... I hit the wall with the same frequency and force with or without it.
OK, I know it's not vintage but who doesn't like a nice bit of machining? :D From the same people who make & distribute the Predator 4wd buggy (Team Extreme)

I don't actually know the original maker for the vintage part.
There is a facebook group, old school RC, where a member reproduced these.
He is on here too, but does not have a vendor section, durb69
This is my mid motor conversion based on a hacked graphite chassis.
It started out about 5 years ago when I got a graphite chassis for cheap or even free from someone off ebay or here who did not really know that the graphite chassis does not come...

Well, the main goal was to move servo and battery as far forward as possible.
Laying the servo down as in a B3 or b4 causes interference with the nose brace tubes. Keeping the servo where it is is too close the the bellcrank connection. That is why...
