torando bb street conversion?
 
after seeing the converison to tsunami i was thinking and i thought i have an off road truck already so why not make the torando bb street only for high speed and handling. What would you guys recromend for this? street wheels bettr engine when this one blows suspencion mods ect.

p.s sorry for my lack of spelling

onroad tires and rims, smaller shocks for less wheel travel, lightning shock towers so you can mount the car body, the engine is actually very good and 2 speed is great for on road

so i guess not much modification? but when the motor blows why not just go for a os .18 tz or something for great performance :D

the sh.18 is a direct fit and if you use the replacement program you get it for less than $50: http://www.redcatracing.com/itemdeta...tno=sh18engine

the os .18 cvrx is a direct fit and will set you back $110 or so: http://www.clermontmotorsports.com/s...lue-11j/Detail

the tz is a rear exhaust and would need some modifying to get to fit.
