Default Tornado to Tsunami

How hard and what parts (besides the body and wheels) would I need to convert my Tornado to a Tsunami? Anyone tried this?

you would have to get the Tsunami drive cups for all 4 wheels as well, thats what your dog bone set's in on your wheels, because the Tsunami rims are thicker and need the longer shaft thats on the tsunami drive cups to work right, plus your going to have to change out the shock plates because you now have a truggy which your going to do more jumping now because its made to be a all terrain car so your going to hit more bumps and the Tornado shock plates bend to easy, but once you do that you have to get the shock plate supports, one thing adds to another and thats why I have $600.00 in my tsunami, if you dont want to spend that kind of money then your better off buying a Tsunami,

I converted my syclone (same as tornado) to a eldorada (same as volcano). But I cheated cuz I had a nitro buggy and electric truck so I just swapped the whole suspension systems over.
