converting ta02 offroad to on

[icanthinkofone]

I have a tamiya s-10 stadium truck, and i want to make it a street car. what do i need to do this, just shorter shocks and street tires? i just want something to beat around the driveway with my roommate and have a good time. what shocks should i get, or just what all should i get?
thanks

in a sense, yes. I have 2 TA-02's...one street, one S-10. Although one is converted to a "wide" kit, ( tl A-arms and longer shocks) its pretty much jsut shocks and tires bud.

nice. i can't afford to get a tc4 right now, but i really want something to bash onroad a bit, and i think my inability to keep myself from jumping it as a truck is why i kill the gears. they have been fine for a few weeks, then we make one nice jump and soon as i land hard a few times its over for another set of gears. oh well. make this a parking lot car...actually we are going with stock car themes haha, and get an rc10 to jump around maybe..

someone's gotta have some suggestions as to what i need to make this truck into a "juan pablo montoya" stock car!

HPI stock car wheels, slick tires, the body, get her stance set, and you are done.

ya need a paint job on that car?:D

I'm gonna try to do it on my own...basically the car is black with the decals i think. If that's it, i'm good. I'll probably just have a hard time finding the decals for montoya's car though :cool: .. I ordered the speed tuned gears today for it and I'm going to the hobby town up the street to look for wheels and tires and hopefully when i get back from colorado on the 26th it'll all be here and i'll be set. Finding a stock car body that isn't a wide body is tougher than i thought it'd be though
