with my infatuation with brushless and lipo technology im on a unstoppable quest to find the next model to turn into a silent, but deadly (haha) beast. It all started with a brushless stampede about a year ago. slowly i moved on up moving into the largest 1/8 scale models and now i want bigger! My current project is a monster GT thats been converted to electric. surprisingly, while it is my favorite project yet, i want to continue to mod it or perhaps move to a bigger fish. This leads me to a few questions.

* i am aware of the new era models and their savage conversion, does anyone else make a conversion for existing models?

* could i simply purchase a 1/4 body or alike to work into building my existing MGT into a possible scaler?

Crawler guys have been making the equivilent of 1/6 scale realistic looking trucks for a while now, finding the body is usually the hardest part.

There's also the Nylint and New Bright ones, a while back there was a cool buildup making a truck with Imex Swamp Kongs look scale......kinda.
