Default RE: (( MODS on POLARIS-LIBERTY 800 VES )) TEXX

First off Sorry for the Necro posting

I have a POLARIS-LIBERTY 700 I want to change up, because frankly it's too painfully slow and has no range. (20' max)
I picked it up a few years ago brand new From Walmart. It was on Clearance for $25 but I soon found out with it's limited range and slow speed it just wasn't fun.
I want to beef it up and make it fun

First off, I can't figure out how the body comes off to actually get to the electronics. (Anyone help? Pics would be appreciated)
I'm use to hobby grade RC where I just remove body clips and can easily gain access to everything.

Next, I see Texx did his mods with other toy grade vehicle parts. What I'd like to know is can I put real RC parts into this?
I'd like to add one of my 2.4 ghz receivers to start with, and more than likely a Traxxas ESC and Motor combo.
(I'm considering a Hobby Wing Brushless system, but not sure the toy grade internal parts like the gears could handle the power)

Has anyone made these types of mods?
Can someone point me in the right direction??
