Any chance losi will come out with a sc 8th scale, I made one from a losi buggy and truggy and thing is awesome to drive, It blows the doors off of the ae sc8 trucks.
Here is a couple of pics

Thanks guys, yes Allen a truggy chassis and buggy arms. I had to use the ae bumpers, body and tire's. I also modified the front shock tower to be able to run rear shocks on the front of it for realistic travel. I am still doing some fine tuning on them.

Hey Vinny, we have 2 tracks here in Kenai one off road/ sc and an oval track also. As for the SC truck, I used the losi truggy 1.0 chassis and shock towers and the losi 1.0 buggy arm and drive shafts. I used the Ae sc8 bumpers, tire and wheels and body to complete it. If you have any more question's let me know.
Thanks Jim

Jim! How did I know you'd be on here? :) And you weren't using no AE wheels and tires... not the stock ones anyway, ya cheater!

Here's a short little video of Jimbo and the rest of us running 1/8 buggies. SC trucks, and truggies...

Oh... here's another nifty little photo... Note the cheater wheels/tires :)

How did you have to modify the shock towers?

I didn't have to mod the shock towers, I just used the truggy towers, I also have a losi 8 that I convert to a sct and I used the ae sc10 body. i did have to make the body mounts, but it wasn't no big deal, I had some left over from an old traxxas stampede
