I can't possibly be the only one who's ever thought of this

Ok, I can't possibly be the only one who's ever thought of doing this.

Ignore the tires & wheels, that's an easy (Proline) fix....

Wheelbase & width are perfect (w/short course tires & wheels)

A front & rear bumper should be easy to fabricate or modify, body mounts are simple.

I know the front looks a bit odd, but it's got zero bump steer!

Absolutely nothing has been cut or modified at this point...

Imagine how cool a 2WD nitro SC10GT would be!....& it won't fall apart!

All you have too do is flip the FT arms, shim the upper shock mounts a hair, and do a little adjustment.

I have done that before just to try it, but not to fit a SC body. But that was long before there were SC trucks. Pretty cool. I may have to pick up one of those bodies. 8)

Took a break from the Sand Scorcher build.

Finished up modified front end. Will do alignment later.

Now GT will have same wheels as available for Slash. (and stronger too.)

Hope to pick up beadlocks & scale BFG's soon!
