A conversion might be cost effective if one had a TRF417 with a broken chassis or something like that. I just think the cost of all the suspension pieces would add up. You need the little spacers, the correct screws, C-hubs, bearings, drive shafts, suspension pins, all the little bits to shim the suspension arms, all the balls for the shocks and more shims, the shocks themselves (somewhat hard to find short ones), balls for the upper arms, the upper arm turnbuckles and cups, F & R shock stays.

I really like my S-type. In terms of balance, it works out better side-to-side than my TB04 Pro.
I did my DIY conversion to S. It is not complete though. I'm definitely buying that drift S-type when it reaches the LHS.
