So last summer I found a Kyosho Inferno Audi R8 body on Mercari for $25 and I bought it since it was so cheap. I thought I might be able to adapt it to work with either my Infraction or my Typhon but unfortunately it didn't fit either one without serious chopping of the body so I just put the body in a box and haven't looked at it since. Last week I stumbled upon a Kyosho Inferno GT2 nitro version roller for $100 USD that came with the C6 corvette body and some white hoons. Even though I'd need a bunch of chassis parts to convert it to full electric the price was decent so I picked it up.
It showed up today and after giving it a once over and taking some notes on what it needed I hit the internet and I found that dollarhobbyz had pretty much all of the parts I needed to complete the full electric conversion and most of it seemed to be marked down in prices which included a fully painted dodge demon body for 37 bucks, so I picked that up too because... well, just because. So far I am into this car for about $285 before motor and ESC which I don't think is very bad considering the price of a new RTR version is 600-700. I'll probably power this with an Arrma 6s system and throw my DumboRC X6 on it and make this a not so serious speed run car/parking lot drift machine.
More to come later as parts trickle in.
