I'm quite sure there isn't mate, and if there was, it would replace 80% of the car, and probably be prohibitively expensive. Geometry of the entire machine is totally wrong for on road. Check out Ace hobbies XR8 if you want a cheap 1/8th... 80mph out of the box...

Is there a way i can set it up for on road and be legal?
What are the rules for on-road?
I don't want to be that competitive just to be able to race for fun.Since it's the only well organised races here among the on road classes second after 1/10th scale..

I appreciate your effort, but forget it. Seriously, there is no way you can convert the buggy to run in an onroad race. You may find that it is a legal chassis, and you'll never be able to get it below minimum ride height requirements, so probably no worries on the legality front (unless the club has a problem with you running a buggy in what is effectively the formula GT of R/C). However, you'll need to change the shocks, the entire front and rear diff assembly and all bulkhead components (just in order to fit a body), all the arms, upper and lower, I could go on all day, there are just too many parts to change, even the hubs and wheel shafts, not to mention wheels and tyres of course. Forget it, honestly...
I was looking at the Kyosho Evolva the other day. What a machine. I want one. [>:]

Not 1/8th on road, but 1/7th on road. The Hyper One Seven, from what I have heard actually uses most of the hyper drivetrain and suspension. I doubt that there is a conversion kit yet, but you could probably call Nitrohouse to see what you would need.

lol! How bizarre! I don't fancy it's chances of keeping up with a 1/8th serpent round the track!! Looks like a bit of a toy to me, look at the length of those arms, and the droop to get it to ride low. Nice try OFNA, but, no thanks...what a giggle...what will they think of next, formula 1 conversion kit for the Pirate!?

I am on-road racer, that is why I hate crap conversions. 1/8th on-road is the formula GT of R/C. Best racing class, fastest cars, most skilled drivers...
Maybe you misunderstand what I wrote...?
