Kyosho inferno mp 7.5 conversion to rally/drift car
That is my buggy. I have converted it to brushless and I'm planning on converting it to a rally drift car and I'm curious as to how to do it. It seems that not many people have done or are interested in doing it. I'd like to hear your thoughts on it and everything i need to do it.

Depends what you mean by "converting it to a rally drift car".
If you are looking to make it into a middle point between a buggy and a road car then you will need shorter shocks/springs and different shock towers, a body of your choosing and some rally/drift tyres.
I converted a Hyper7 to what I would call rally.

It works well for what I wanted.
I have on-road cars and I have buggys. The on-road cars are fast and handle well, but break easily and really do need a flat, smooth and clean surface to run on. Whilst the buggys are tough and can run anywhere (that I would want to), but are not so fast and do not handle so well. I wanted something that fitted in between.
Ideally I would make a flat chassis for it as the Hyper7 has a kick-up at the front (as most buggys), this increases the steering castor angle, a lower castor would make the steering more responsive.
