I am considering a conversion on this model. How are the tracks and gearboxes?
Weak or OK with some care taken while driving?

I can handle the scratch building work but want to be sure the driveline would be up to the task. I plan on using a dual ESC setup and my own electronics for the most part. Will the metal HL boxes fit in with some effort? Aftermarket tracks available? Any info you have will be much appreciated. After building the 1117, Im hooked. Just dont want to drop the cash for Tamiya right now.
