I've been working on this for a few days and have finished the body and thought I'd share a few pic's with you guy's.  I'm running a Neu 1527 1.5d 1500kv motor and the Mamba XL2 speedo (only for the data and maybe oneday plugging in 8s and having some speed fun) and will run 6s 5000mAh nano's and gear it to do 60-70mph.  I'm hoping that the lower gearing will increase runtime so I can go for late night walks through the street's when the roads are dead, we have some nice new hot mix road's in the main street and this thing sounds awesome echoing from shop window to window, wow, F1! (almost on scale)
If anyone's interested I can post the build?

Sounds like a lot of fun. It seems to be very affordable too.....
It would be great to have one. What speed have you got yours up to? (And where at?)

Here's hoping some people cotton on and some bodies get made. Awesome conversion dude, just awesome, what did you do? Just put 1/8th buggy wheels and raise the suspension as far as it would go? Or have you changed the geometry? Well done anyway, looks great.

I'm not gonna really open it up til I get out on some open area. Maybe after a year or two I might get some Digger tires and try it off raod. Thought about it allready and putting it on the oval track at my local R/C track.
