1. It doesn't matter if you have a Hot Bodies, Associated, Mugen, X-Ray... There are no specific parts to covert an 1/8 scale buggy to a GT8.

2. The only real parts you need is for something to mount the body to the chassis and a set of tyres. A bumper would be nice

There are two brands that make GT8. Ofna and Kyosho. Those would be a good source to use for body mounts and bumpers. Losi L8ight dirt oval is another.

I'm running Kyosho body mounts and bumper on my Tamiya conversion.

3. Things to consider: buggy rear shock towers are pretty tall and so are the dampers. Springs are also very soft. Here you may want to run the front shock tower and shocks on rear; if possible. Otherwise, you may have to fabricate your own shock tower.

That's basically it!
