JSR - sorry I didn't see your question earlier. YOu probably got the Mod 1 figured out by now. I've since uncoverted this one back again to see what it runs like with the engine on it. It will go back brushless later this summer.
Chadworkz - it's been a little while since I did this conversion but there were a lot of factors that went into why it ended up like it did. I am sure mike would have did some custom work if he had the time. We briefly discussed the options for it. Custom bearings are very hard to find. Most of the mounts also are on the other side of the RC and Kyosho also seem to have odd size bearings. Most of this was done with what I had on hand to work with. There have been several projects since this conversion. I'd have to go back and follow my trail to refresh my memeory. I do not clearly remember all the options I researched looking for the best way to do this. I will have to trust myself by thinking I did and this was the best option for me. I've made lots of stuff out of lexan including a ruslters chassis and complete set of arms for it. I actually enjoy the challange that it presents vs buying something that would make my life easier. There are more way to skin a cat. Good luck with catching it.
jsr - would like to see some pics when you get your done.
