me too, i really want to get the quattro going. I tore it down yesterday, only to find that somebody has replaced most of the original hardware with aluminum hardware. & Let me tell you, grubby 20 year old Al hardware is a devil The chassis has also been swiss cheesed for ultimate weight savings. I'm going to see if my buddy can make a carbon fiber radio tray and new chassis plate for it.
So naturally, Ive been thinking about doing a brushless conversion, but my only drawback is i need to find some foam donuts to replace the old foam already on the wheels. I have 4-5 sets of wheels for it, most of the foam is in rough shape though.
Where the heck do ya find foam donuts???

I have access to a large machining lathe at work, so im sure i could rig up a fixture to hold the wheels so i could spin them. Looks like all it would take is some type of hex (a bolt) and a nut on the other end. Then get a tire cutting insert of some sort and true them up.
I suppose one could buy a sheet of foam and go to town with a hole-saw to make some home-brew donuts
