Hey, i want to make my evo sort a rally car. meaning i wanna be able to take it into the dirt and street.

No jumps really,just a flat dirt track.. I 'm gonna need a higher ground clearance, new tires, rims, and suspension? Links?

I converted mine to Rally and it had a whole 1" clearence. I filled the suspention down to get rid of the limiters. I also made some mounts to lower the shock postion...here is a pic Rally pic

Hockeekidd98 · #3 09-19-2004, 08:17 PM

"filled the suspension"???

josh222 · #4 09-19-2004, 09:11 PM

I filed the c-hubs, sorry for that typo

Hockeekidd98 · #5 09-19-2004, 10:00 PM

I'm sort of a begginer, so I don't know what they are or where they are. explain?

trw · #6 09-19-2004, 11:35 PM

The C-hubs are what the front steering blocks are attatched to...its shaped like a "C" and attatches to the A-arm and also houses the steering blocks, the steering block is what allows the wheels to turn.

Hockeekidd98 · #7 09-19-2004, 11:55 PM

Can you post a picture showing it? I'm still lost, lol.

trw · #8 09-20-2004, 12:45 AM

this is what the C-hub looks like...located only on the front wheels...the turnbuckles attatch to the top of it and the bottom is attatched to the A-arm.

You have to get rid of the nub on the side and thin the whole thing up and also cut a little out of the back of the arm so you can have a lot of movement

you could get a tc3 and a rally kit or extend the wheelbase, add longer shock shafts, get new wheels,tires,and a new body and it should work

Hockeekidd98 · #11 09-20-2004, 09:06 AM

Can some one give me a tutorial on this or link me to the parts. I'm kinda new to this so I don't understand everything you're telling me.

josh222 · #12 09-20-2004, 11:27 AM

Your Evo isvery easy to convert rally. I converted my SS easliy.

What you should get....
Rally tires....HPI Rally Tires Soft
Shocks....Evader ST Shocks

Then file down the suspention so that it can drop down

Thanks for being patient with me

Few more questions. Would i Need this also?

And what would I use for front shocks?
Can you show me on the diagram what i would need to file down.

josh222 · #14 09-20-2004, 05:59 PM

use those shocks front and rear and yes you need spring and oil, try a 30WT

here is a pic

All the parts circled you should file down also you have to file the back of the arm where the c-hub is against

Hockeekidd98 · #15 09-20-2004, 07:28 PM

I'm getting frustrated because when I look at my car and your diagram the things your telling me to shave make no sense.

josh222 · #16 09-20-2004, 08:11 PM

ok here is a pic

josh222 · #17 09-20-2004, 08:15 PM

Hockeekidd98 · #18 09-20-2004, 08:27 PM

In the bigger pic can you circle what needs to be sanded.

josh222 · #19 09-20-2004, 09:57 PM

josh222 · #22 09-21-2004, 08:01 AM

Ok here is what you need to turn your Evo into a Nitro Rally....

Nitro MT Arms Front And Rear
NitroMT Shock Towers
Nitro MT Shocks
Super Nitro Rally Tires And rims
Super Nitro Rally body
MT Drive shafts
Nitro MT Turnbuckles

I Have turned my SS into a Nitro MT so i have most of these parts... I have found that the Nitro 3 Rally converted works but it is kinda tipy, turning it in to a Nitro Rally will make it wider. All those parts will cost about 70bucks but then you will have a good rally car and also have a Super Rally car aswell. If i get Rally tires and body i will have a Super Rally Nitro MT and a SS

70?? All those parts are way over 150.... What happend to the first way withthe evader springs and such... That was alot cheaper.every thing i needed that way came to 60.

josh222 · #24 09-21-2004, 03:39 PM

It isn't that much....

Super Nitro Rally Arms 4.99x2=$10
Super Nitro Rally Drive Shafts5.29x2=10.60
Nitro MT Shock Towers 6.69
HPI Sport Shock Complete 15.99x2=32
Tunbuckles-6
grand total $66, just pic your tires and body

Or the cheap whey...
Nitro MT shock Towers$6.69
HPI sport Shockx2 $32for both
Rally tires about $10 for 2
