That is ingenious! Very good idea. And, I bet the car will handle and drive excellently, like a simply longer-wheelbase 1/5 scale car.

I wonder if you could do the same thing with an HPI Baja 5T? Making a quarter-scale offroad truck out of a fifth-scale truck? The chassis are a bit more complex than just a new flat "pan" but it's the same concept.

I don't think he meant "you" as in you personally.
More like wondering if it was possible.


Which I'm sure it would be.
Anything's possible - it's just the impossible that takes a bit longer to do.
