You could replace those tanks with NOS.
A bet a Hayabusa motor would fit under that seat just fine.
Have you considered a drift chair?

I'm not sure if having a convenient hobby shop is a plus or a minus if you have such a twitchy trigger finger!

I've done that. I used to own a Quickie S-626 and it drifted great on the right surfaces. The S-626 had a top speed of 8.5mph, spring loaded casters, full suspension caster style anti-tippers, and 14 inch drive wheels with RockShox suspension. The chair had almost balance suspension between the casters and anti-tippers which made it ideal for speed, maneuverability, and of course - drifting.
Oddly I have no photos of me using mine. My chair was the same color as the one in the photo but the seat didn't tilt and the legrests didn't have calf support.

Chair drifting looks quite fun! I'm pretty sure I'd be 'that guy' who proves the anti-tippers would need adjust and do a horrendous crash but I'd crash with a smile I bet! 
That chair looks pretty awesome too! Its got coilovers on it!!! Fox shocks no doubt!!!

Yup.I would fall DEEP in this rabbit hole I bet!!!
I can see me having more of those than mini crawlers!!
Who thread locks a button head screw? Team Corally is the answer. I had to drill out 3 screws heads to free up the motor mount. Just for the record my Punisher 4 is less than a week old and has never had a battery in it. On the good side I found a new replacement for $6.00 on eBay. The truck is a junk bucket but with a reasonable tune job I see it driving pretty good.
