Default Truggy conversion

I was wondering, whats the cheapest way to make a truggy? I picked up a Hyper 7 pcr rtr at a local pawn shop for $350, never run! I was looking for another monster truck but I could not pass that up. After breaking the engine in and playing with this thing, I feel it’s just to low to the ground. I’m not into racing so I just want a basher, but unless the ground is mostly smooth it just bounced around. But its so fast I just cant get rid of it. I’ve seen this truggy conversion and can’t see what makes it worth $150 bucks; you get just a few parts.

Who has make this conversion without paying so dearly for it?

it will cost you more than $150
You'll need
Tires and wheels $60 min.
Body $25 and up for a painted one
stronger steering servo to turn those big wheels $50 -$100

Expect another $100 minumum to maybe over $200 more to get it set up right
What you get from Holeshot is reasonable @ $150 IMO

yep it costs ! i got quite a bit in my K2. there is not a cheap way to do it but you will have better handling & steering than any truck out there. and like had enough said HOLESHOT is the way to go ive searched everywhere and that is the best deal you can get.
