Awesome job. This is the re-release that Tamiya should have done as it doesn't look right with the lunchbox ride height and little wheels. One thing I don't think you mentioned is that the battery goes on the back and the old batteries that this was designed for were shorter than the standard stick pack of the later models. You can get shorty lipo packs that would fit on that back shelf. Anyway top work on the conversion 👍👍
Thanks for the comment, you are right I didn’t mention the battery placement. The rear end/shelf of the chassis is designed for the old hardcase tamiya 6v or 7.2v humpback batteries. Hence the tool box molded hump on the rear bodyshell itself. The standard 7.2v stick packs will not fit the chassis though. At the moment, i’m using a 7.4v 2s lipo and it’s small enough to fit anywhere in the chassis.
