Hey all I am new to the site and am getting back into dirt oval racing after leaving in the late 80's. I have a AE B4 and would like to convert to a sprint car. Does anyone know of a conversion kit for this buggy. If one does not exist can someone give me a base setup for the car and a place that I could get a sprint body that will fit the B4? Thanks in advance for your help.

I have heard some talk that in the coming months he may have an electric conversion as well. In the mean time I know I hosted pics of a guys b4 that he put a CW cage on. You can search through previous posts in the Readers Rides section to find it.

Are you building these as mid or rear motor? Also, are you converting Losi buggies? I have both just sitting in my basement and need to do something with them ;)

mo-motor,
I have a complete rolling b4 team kit already. If you sell the conversion I would be very interested. Let me know as I want to get this thing ready for the spring season.
Thanks,

TMR are still available but Raymond is waiting on his next batch of chassis, which has been slow. There is a guy Unjun in the classifieds that has a tmr electric built on a factory team b4. He is the second owner, first guy was from around here, so the car has been ran about 4-5 times total I believe. You man look him up.

you shouldnt need to buy no conversion kit. i just did a b3 to sprint and all i did was buy a cw cage drill holes in the chasis to mount the cage. its not hard at all
