Make a 1.5, converting to a full 2.0 isn't worth doing.. there is no advantage other than to just say you did it. By snagging a 2.0 chassis and changing out the center drive shafts you gain the length which was the biggest change performance wise. Getting the slightly longer shocks, new shock towers and steering parts won't shave you anything off lap times.. With the truggy it makes a touch more difference swapping to the zero offset tires w/ the longer arms and hubs, but that is not the case w/ the buggy as it didn't change.

I'd suggest snagging a tekno 2.0 kit w/a 1.0 roller and the center bones and be done.
