Default Converting a Losi 8ight-T E to a 2.0T E...HELP!

So I found a Electric converted Losi 8ightT and I wanted to know what parts I would need to convert it into a 2.0-T E. It's a killer deal!!! But I would rather have the 2.0 version.
If you can help me out, that would be great!
Thanks

the cost to convert to 2.0 isn't worth it better off buying a used 2.0.

+1, It would cost more to convert it than to buy one.

Here is my 8ight-T 2.0, there were several small changes from 1.0 to 2.0 that when added up do make for a much better truggy. The biggest change was the longer chassis, which would also require the longer rear driveshaft. They also went to longer suspension arms to eliminate the off-set wheels, you could probably use the 1.0 suspension and be ok. The shock towers are different, lighter and in the rear they allow longer shocks. The steering bell has been modified but I am not sure what they changed. The 2.0 is definetly a better truggy, and I would recommend it over a 1.0 version, as far as coverting a 1.0 to 2.0 that's your call, and unless you get a killer deal it could be expensive to covert.
