Default MODDING A HOBBYZONE CHALLENGER?

HI
I would like to know if it would be possible to modify a Hobbyzone challenger.

What I mean by modify is putting in an rx and servos possibly a brush less motor and some lipos.
I would love to be able to fly this plane with a better radio when I buy one.

You may ask why?
Well it would be more convenient to be able to have one radio.
I like the way the plane flies so I would like to upgrade performance.
Why Not?

Thanks!

If you search this forum you'll find some threads on that. We've done Extremes, challengers, etc. Using standard electronics, brushless motors, control rods, etc. It's all in here....Look!
