Default X-Cellerator Kit?

Anybody know if XTM makes, or ever made, a kit version of this truck?

I've got one already but it's all beat to hell but the OS .18 CV-RX I've got in it is still good and I'd love to have another 1/10 truck running again.

I hate to spend 250 bucks on it only to throw away ANOTHER junk radio and motor (though I think the new .18s are better). I've got literally half a dozen identical transmitters just laying around. The Hi-Tec systems that came in these XTM cars were total garbage. <200 feet of range in a lot of cases and random loss of signal even right at your feet.

Well, let's list what's wrong with it:

1. Battery box is smoked
2. Wiring for the battery is smoked
3. Differential's locked up
4. Shocks need work
5. Needs new rear hub 'cups' (the little plastic cups at the end of the upper suspension arm)
6. Chassis is in bad shape
7. Slipper Clutch is in rough shape
8. Brakes are smoked

With all of this don't you think it'd be cheaper, or maybe just easier, to get a kit or a new one and drop the old motor in?
