To do the truggy, you'll need all new arms (buggy), new (L8ight model) shock towers and new shock bodies and shafts. In addition, it was recomended to me to use RC4Less springs - the firm set for the L8ight model.

Ideally, if you could swap your truggy for a L8ight model you would be money WAY ahead - I converted mine simply because it is a low time car and the L8ight models are NOT bringing a lot of money...

I hope this doesn't discourage you - they're great cars and are supposed to work very well on the track!
Sounds simple enough, but looking at different websites I can't find any gt bodies around 368-372 wheelbase. I've looked around aswell for a l8ight model but the prices are unreasonable. Thanks for the tip
