JConcepts have released a bit of a surprise conversion kit for the 10th scale AE T4 truck, converting it into something more like a large 8th scale 2WD buggy - complete with one of their excellent Illuzion shells on steroids!
From JConcepts:

(Converts RC10T4 truck to 1/8th 2wd electric buggy)
JConcepts introduces a revolutionary new vehicle concept, the J82. The J82 is the buggy of your dreams, combining the drivability of a 1/10th truck with the fascination of a buggy. The J82 is a terrific platform for drivers wanting to race on a bigger track with tough terrain. The J82 allows a brushless and lipo driver the opportunity to race with more confidence for an extended period of time.
Jason Ruona stated – “Trucks have always been easier to drive making them a popular choice in competition. The buggy class has always been looked at as the more prestigious class – Now the Worlds have collided.”

As soon as I saw it I thought - hmmmm, neo! but sadly I was immediately rebuffed and can't use it there. Oh well, it looks like a good option for rough terrain fun and for those truck owners that prefer the look of the buggy (and who doesn't!).
