Turning On-Roads into Buggies or Truggies?

Hey everyone. I wasn't sure to post this is the On-Road, Buggy, Or Truggy section, but anyways. I have an old NTC3. Will it be possible to turn it into a buggy just by putting in the big tires or just buying a conversion kit (I don't know if they sell some.)?


EDIT: I found the TC3 "O" Conversion kit, but it's not for the NTC3. Will it still work?

you can set it up like a rally car at best...if you throw too big of a tire on it you will overload the engine and probably burn clutch shoes alot....

Yeah, so if I wanted to bring my MTX-3 to the snow some day, I should just put on some spike tires (The spiked ones)on, or do I need something else?

I wouldn't recommend running ANY open belt drive car in the snow....the belts may become very brittle from the cold and wet.....
