RE: Teaser...
So, it's been awhile since I've updated this thread. The kit has gone through a few design changes and I have the final design nailed down. I have one set and am awaiting more to ship to me on Monday. Here are some pics and a link to another video.

RE: Teaser...
It's a decent conversion for the money and very well finished, impressive work. Next goal will have to be moving the motor to amidships, a la Losi 22 in mid motor configuration. If you could do that, you'd have something pretty special and eminently marketable. The reason it would be important is due to the weight of truggy motors that could be used to make this easily a 100mph car. I suspect that with a truggy motor hanging off the back it would be impossible to keep it down at speed. The fact that its lighter than a 1/8th buggy is immediately apparent and to your advantage.
