ok dumy question here,,,i have a pan 10T and am thinkin bout doin a latemodel but i have to be under 10.25" wide and 11.25" wheelbase i know i can shorten it by using the other set of front holes in the pan, however its the arms and acc. that i will need to make it this width. does anyone know the width and wheel base of a pan buggy? or if someone has an extra set of arms and drive shafts connecting rod acc. etc. lemme know what i need please thank you soo much!

just go out and buy a used buggy. it'll be cheaper in the long run.

but if you must convert your truck, you need:

shorter shocks
shorter towers
shorter tie rods
buggy steering bellcrank
shorter arms
shorter cvd's

I like to buy 10t's because they have stealth trans and are usually in better shape then most buggy's you see for sale. I have 2 trucks I have converted over to buggy's. One uses the dynotech a arms and the other has a buggy nose plate on it with stock rc10 arms. Nice thing with the dynotech arms is that you can use the truck nose plate and bulkhead. If you have the truck I would convert it even if you have to buy the parts. In the end you will basically have a new vehicle thats nice and tight. Depending on the route you decide I may be able to help you with some of the parts (shocks, cvd's, shock towers etc.) I would buy new arms and mounts they are cheap.
