Uh yeah sorry Rex. I would have thought that was pretty common knowledge by now. The 99 has been around a little while now so not many posts about it. I got mine conversion parts from ForgeBear and i did a full Tamiya conversion using a KV 1 set up. It works really well in the 99. Still need to get some faster motors in it, will probably use a set of speed 400's maybe even 480's. i don't want to knock down the gear ratio too much though that is why i'm just going to do motors. Also want to get the traverse speed up with a faster small motor. saw a guy use 250 motors in a Tamiya set up but i think ill have to find a faster flat frame motor to use the HL traverse gear box.
i will have to get some new pictures of it, haven't done anything with the paint. Just so you know the actual green they use is a little darker than the HL and the yellow is a little more yellow than HL if you want to be accurate with the colors.
