There are a few choices for conversions for a B4. Or you can just leave the buggy the way it is and mount an EDM body on it, that's what I do and it makes a good dirt oval car.

Here's a link to a similar topic that was on here a while ago: http://www.dirtoval.com/forums/showthread.php?t=11626

yea, basically just put the body on it and you are done. I never understood those things...too goofy looking for my taste.

Jerry I have a kit made for the B4 buggy The picture are up on the web site what you get in the kit. I have them in stock. I also have a body made by Kipp's for that car. or The McAllister bodies fit. I also carry TC3 touring car shocks and tires for the kits. My web site is www.speedysracingparts.com send me an e-mail if you like what you see or need more info.

Will shocks from a Nitro TC3 work with your conversion kits as well, or do they differ from the electric TC3 shocks?

what the b4 needs besides shcoks towers is an offset chassis, 0 degree rear toe in mount and less front castor. imo just changing the shocks and towers may make it handle better but its not the full package.

no one at the moment makes a 0 degree rear mount. if you go and read the post unjun made about 0 degree on a b4 it shows how to make your own but i dont know how stron it is.

any body will fit, you might have to do some trimming. the custom works body will require the most wrk to get it to fit. try kipps hoobies, he makes alot of nice bodies. or go to ebay and type in dirt oval and alot will come up there.

The car handles very well with the battery down the center of the chassis. specialy if you go from one ractrack to a nother. The shock towers will used any of the shocks for the TC3 to the .89 B4 fronts. You can use just about anybody body on the car. I like the way Gary Mcallister makes his They are the most universal. And the new one he just came out with is the easyest I have built so far. The web site dose not say it But i will also take money orders for payment.

Yes they will most any shock will fit the kits. this is one of the reasonds they have many holes and to help set up the ride hight.

The chassis material makes the cost out of control with some of the rest in the aftermarket company's i do have an idea on building a zero deg kit for the B4 T4.
