"The conversion is out of testing and production has already begun a few days ago. The only thing we are waiting for is the drive shafts to come back from heat treat. I am hoping they will be done by 12/20. As soon as we get the shafts the kits will be sent to rc-monster. He will have the kits exclusively for some time."

What happened? Any news?

I'd have the same question too but I'm still suffering from Christmas cash flow problems. It would still be nice to know how it's coming though.

All is done, and the kits are on there way to rc-monster.

We did add a few things to the conversion.

We now include the center skid, included some spacers to space out one tvp to allow additional room for large batteries.
And we stretched it an additional 7.5mm giving it a total extension over stock of 50mm.

Yeah...I think Jamie spoke to soon when he suggested a price earlier on in this thread. The kit now inludes a custom skid, got extended slightly from the original prototype, as well as several other additions. Jamie and I agreed to work on making a complete, balanced , no-compromise kit and adjust the price accordingly when we achieved this objective. There really is quite a bit of stuff for the price. Extended Tvps, motor mount, servo mounts, drive shafts, esc mount, battery mount accomodations, etc. - it is actually quite a bargain all things considered. Cheap? Not exactly, but certainly a high value for your conversion dollar. :)

The revo motor mount alone is $60. This kit includes a slightly modified version of that mount in it. A set of extended TVPs is $60, so just those 2 items alone are worth $120. The remaining $65 is a total deal for everthing else included in this kit.


I can't decide if its more fun
to make it...
or break it...

I didnt say it was expensive, just wondering.... If I had the money (or I didnt order my NEU) Id buy buying the kit, and all the stuff to make it a roller probably yesterday......

But I want my NEU
