There are alot of commen parts, but there are also alot that are new and alot of the new ones are big items. $100 for the chassis, prolly atleast $50 to get the extra long shocks, atleast $30 for each tower, $100 in driveshafts, $20 atleast for arms, Atleast $30 for the turnbuckles, $30 for the body, $10 for the new mudguards, And a whole lot more $$$ for all the small parts to bring that all togather. That also doesn't include the tires. To me it would not be worth it to convert. You still won't have a fully new truggy if you convert.
yea i think i just might just wait hopefully some one will have a smokeing deal on one and get it that way. thanks for the info.

yes. they are a much tighter fit on the side to side play. we also took some of the runout out of the front bearing the injection mold left .005 to .006 run out and now there is about 2 to 3. i am doing spindles just for the simple fact of buying 1 size outer bearing and that even the front bearings were locking up not blown yet, but on there way out the door for sure. thanks again tix for the tip. 
Ill have to give the spindals a go. ive never bothered because ive never blown one and ive still got heaps of spairs from when i was blowing the rears

Prolly not. You will spend ALOT to get everything to be 2.0 spec. There are just too many changes made to the truggy to be cost effective to convert it. You are just better off buying a 2.0. I mean they changed chassis, shock setup, arm length, wheel offset, all kinds of geometries, all driveshafts except the from center, etc. Really it is just too much to convert.
Agree 100% about the truggy there is just too much new stuff. The buggy can be converted for a reasonable price though.

Relax............just a little joke to ruffle your feathers. Iv'e had more vehicles, both nitro and electric to , than I'd care to mention. Iv'e also done a couple conversions ( xb8tq, Savage X SS), both used a Quark 125b esc, 2 x 3s1p A123 packs, and a Feigao 9xl motor. However, since I dont' bash, keeping both vehicles as electric was pointless, since I was the only one within a 400 mile radius with an electric 1/8. I am a machinist and often do things just because the tools/equipment are there for me to use.
Now, sit back in your recliner , relax, drink some Sleepytime tea, and take a power nap.
