you're probably going to need to make a new chassis. do you want to use 2 motors or 1?

I think the better route would be to add XXX-T suspension parts to a XXX-4. Doing that would take a little custom fabricating, but making a 2WD truck 4WD would take a great deal more custom work and machining.

I think Steve has a great Idea. If you were to pull something off with using a xxx4 main chassis, and xxx-t suspension arms, plus shocks, and fabricate some shocktowers, you could impress losi if its clean and well done, and might want the idea.

Thanks alot benny....I have seen the light and must build this. It looks like the arms would fit right up to the bulks. Just run two rear ends and everything should be perfect.
