SH Z-Car ZMXB-8 1/8 Buggy - Perfect for conversion?

[Cain]

interesting thread. May be looking to do a different vehicle here, and for the price of 199.99 not bad. Anyway, for this vehicle, few questions I am hoping you guys can answer:

1. can you mount the kyosho 46T plastic spur?
2. Assuming a 46T spur mounted, what is the smallest pinion you can run using a neu 1512 sized finned motor?
3. Is there room with the conversion on to mount the Mamba monster ESC to the chassis and then mount the receiver on the center diff plate?

thanks for any info you can provide.
