Status: offline 		Hey

I am planing on makeing my buggy into a on-road racer! i am going to get 1/8 or large 1/10 scale tires and rims with what every hex i can find that will fit.

what will be going into it...

2 speed hpi clutch bell 17T - 22T
Sh-18 engine
Road tires
thicker shock oil
Paint for my new body (i am thinking of a candy apple red with neon green flames? what do you think?)
and i may be geting a Spektrum DX2 or a Futaba 3PM 2.4GHz (it is the spektrum i will be geting used or the futaba i will be geting new)
Hitec HS-925MG (Super fast and good torque)


This thing will rip... all i have to do is lower it and put thicker oil in the shocks

what elts should i get becides that..

this is what i alredy have on it.
i have Alu. shocks, upgraded shock towers, Fuel filter, alu, tuned pipe, tuned header, Throtal return spring, alu. airfilter, and all new fuel lines and fuel filter, Futaba T2PH radio, a hitec HS-425bb steering servo, and a futaba s3003 throtal servo...

If there is anything elts you should think i should get just tell me...

i am geting the sh-18 from a frend free (end of school present, That is my kind of present!)

i cant wate till i get it all, it will rip so fast! when this thing is done Who wants to challenge me!

it for sure will go very fast!

Status: online 		Good Idea But waste of Money
Just buy an onraod car then upgarde
why spend the money to convert eveything to onroad PLUS still upgrade
I think macanan (spelling in sure Of ) did it and he had like 600 dollars into it when you could just buy a car and upgarde it.

if i dont get the 2.4Ghz radio (wich i will need regardless on road or not) and the servo, the bill will be about 50 to 100$ wich is not bad and it needs a new engine and tires, so insted of geting the proper ones just get onroad tires insted of the off road ones.... the other things are a must!

and mark also made it into a tsunami (sory but i mentioned it i have discraced the thred) this is not a big change
