Ok, I bought one of these 2 years ago. Had an old Associated R5 & an old Bolink hub sitting around. So I put the front end off the R5 on it & took a 3/8s step drill & by hand drilled the ride height adjusters for standard 3/8 x 1/4 & put the rear axle from the R5 on it. I only did this because I had the parts lying around. The car was not bad on carpet. I moved the battery & made a shock mount out of some old graphite & got the weight under the WGT 930 gram min. (925) Even running the Turnigy 13.5 motor.
The tires were new & not run in in the main, so there was a little tire spin for a few laps before the car came around. (The purple & yellow car in the video.) I mostly run oval & have not run on road in years & only did this after being challenged by a friend to do this, but it has been a lot of fun.
Here is the video of my last run with it out doors.
