I was actually thinking about parts that would be compatible with the Mini 8ight, especially diffs and dog bones.
I like the idea of doing a comparison of the 1/14-1/16 scale buggies side by side.

If you're talking about the left and right drive cups that are attached to the diffs, I think that there are hex screws holding them in place. They get caked with grease and look smooth like nothing...

One of the nice things about these smaller cars is they're not as hard on the bodies as the heavier vehicles are. With some reinforcing that bug body should hold up fine. I have a Baja Bug body for...

I don't think the Velineon motor is known for over heating but to find the right gear ratio you use a temp gun.
