the oople race truck
I have recently been looking at the x factory x60, and I really do like it. I own a b4.1, which is 99% identical to a t4 - the donor car for the x60. I also own a hpi e firestorm, which been the subject of many threads, including 'could this work?'(about that... it was a bit ridiculous so I canned it). My plan is to merge the two to create a modern 2wd race truck, quite possibly mid motored. And the best part is, you all have a say in how it's built! The whole oople community can come together to create this, and i will have daily updates on the build.
P.S - tomorrow at 10am I will unveil something I think is quite revolutionary on this thread-stay tuned for the announcement!

The b4 and t4 are different as the arms, shocks, chassis and turnbuckles are longer and the firestorm isn't comparable with the b4 as the firestorm is all in metric and all the b4 is imperial, but I mid motored stadium truck would be good

Now for the promised announcement... the subject is rear toe. When you want to alter rear toe on a 2wd, you need to get some different blocks. I find this annoying. So my idea (its complicated so bear with me) is to have hinge pins that can pivot, maybe ball ends, and then the wishbone, then on the end half a block. On the chassis you have a kind of laydown shock tower with different mounting holes, with each one of the holes being a different amount of pre-set toe in. You then select your amount of toe, and screw the half block onto it. You then have a quick and simple way of adjusting toe... with no extra cost!

Now that is a good idea but inted of using ball ends I would go for captured ones like I'm a 1/8 rallycross
