RE: LIGHTNING VX
Probably wouldnt be that hard to stuff a .27 in to the Lightning. Drill some holes to move the center diff up however far ya need,mix and match different sized dogbones to connect the front and rear diff. Finding parts that'll hold that kinda power that fit properly will be a challenge. Rig up a center brace for the front and remove the plastic top to relocate the gas tank or just cut it up to fit. Or remove the radiobox and top plate,bust out a drill and make room for a 1/8th buggy center diff w/ brake setup and use some Maxx throttle servo posts to mount up a throttle/brake servo mount and just zip tie or rig up your reciever/batteries to the chassis and off ya go. I've often thought of what my Tornado would do with a big block....
