I once got a BOSS remotecontrol car for christmas, came with some cologne I think.
Not meant really as a real, just kinda of a gimme with the cologne. It was a porsche about 2 inches shortr than my buggy. I thnk it took 6 aa's and had a tiny motor. It had some decnt tires and was really low profile.
One day I was bored. (thats how it always starts) Anyhow I slapped in one of my buggy motors, I used a hot x-acto and carved out the battery tray to take an old 7.2 I wired it in.
It ended up being one of the fuinnest out of my rc collection. It wa fast, screaming fast and I slidding all over. I think it ended up in a box somewhere. Anywas if it handles anything like that (probably going to be hella better) you'll love it.
Props to taking on something out of the norm, keep us posted eh?

The weight distribution is almost at about 2/3's from the back of the car. I'm using the 6 pack orion 1500mah. But I haven't run it yet cause I still don't have the carbon fiber motor mount that I ordered for it.
I tried running it while holding the motor into the car (off ground), the 540 makes the tires balloon like what happens with the nitro trucks.
my setup is
spur = stock hpi
pinion = 30t 48p ($4)***
motor = venom 19t double ($17) ***
esc = futaba mc230
upper deck = stock (but udjusted to make the motor fit)
motor pod = dremeled (to make the pinion reach the spur)
chassis = carbon fiber
no shock mounting yet. Am still thinking on how to make my own....
*** only thing I bought to make this conversion, and some add'l washers, spacers and screws from home depot.
