Antonio(2) 0 Posted July 23, 2015 Hi guys, after some years far away from the hobby I'm starting a new project. I'd love to add a Cheetah to my collection, as I've seen several NIB bodysets for sale. The main question is: will a Cheetah body fit a re-release XR311 chassis (in order to use better torsion bars from newer kits)? I've heard that Lambo's wheelbase is shorter, but my XR311 re-release chassis has two more holes in center chassis, so I ghess that holes will let me shorten the wheelbase to fit a Cheetah body, right? Any other differences? Wheels and front bumper? Thank you Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
KEV THE REV 2304 Posted July 23, 2015 You're right . The Cheetah chassis front bolts on using the 'vacant' hole that you pictured on the XR311 chassis to shorten it slightly . The front bumper and mount are indeed different , as are the wheels and tyres Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Antonio(2) 0 Posted July 23, 2015 Thank you! So to build a reliable Cheetah I need: 1) A xr311 re release chassis 2) A spare set of Cheetah wheels / tires (almost impossible to find) 3) A spare front bumper (also impossible to find)? P.S.: can I upgrade old suspensions with newer metal torsion bars? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
KEV THE REV 2304 Posted July 23, 2015 You will need a re-re E parts tree to start with as the new metal torsions are fitted in differently to the old version Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
