Yea, you need not worry about the tvps.

Its not hard to convert one. i did mine just fine. You will need all the 2spd internals for the tranny plus the idler. Most of the parts of the XL's 3spd are different. Its worth it to buy a flux tranny on ebay, or a Sav X 2spd plus the idler I mentioned. (I did the later to save some cash at the time.)

Other wise you just need a motor mount. Again, the TCS would be made for the Flux's. There are ways to make an L mount fit inside the TVPs, but its hard to adj the motor screws as its so close to the trans.

You can keep the shocks and anything else. Upgrade the shocks as you wish. Not req tho.

The TCS chassis can mount batts inside the TVPs, else you need flux batt trays & mounts. You can get a flux esc mount, or come up w/ something clever yourself.

Either way, upgrade the diffs to the BPs.

That's all you need to do really.
