It's been done before but I thought I would share mine. Everything was fabbed with a dremel tool, hack saw, and drill press.

Challenges:
1. How to fit a full size pack within the chassis rails.
- I had to cut one leg off of the nitro motor mount.
- Relocate the servo
2. Chassis flex between motor and transmission.
- An additional bracket was added to tie them together.
3. Steering servo relocation.
- I had to cut the chassis to clear the servo horn.
4. HPI 48p spur gear.
- The offset was too far. Pinion gear was at the very end of the shaft.
- I had to cut the spur gear carrier and sand down the hex nut.
5. Differentiall.
- The stock diff just isn't happy.

The truck is fun to drive. The diff seems to loosen up after a few minutes of driving. A fresh rebuild didn't mitigate the problem. I'm looking forward to some dirt pretty soon.
