As you say you need the driveshafts front and rear and the front wheels, other than that you need the SP kingpin set and that is it .... ready to go.

That said by the time you have bought everything you will have spent a lot of money and would probably have been better off selling your old car (or keeping it for spares) and buying a new one.

When you say you are not worried about the shocks I assume that you already have the tripple caps shocks on ..... if not they are a huge improvement over the orginals and worth every penny .... more over if you go for the latest coated versions the ID is slightly smaller giving a little more pack for any given piston / oil combination. If you want to share set-ups with other SP drivers you will be looking at increasing 5wt on oil to get a similar static feel but still won't be getting the same overall effects.

The LAW34 was the older "mid-rear" conversion (which included the tripple caps) and NOT the SP conversion ... that was LAW35 but I don't think it is available anymore.

I personally think that the Kyosho approach to continual improvement is the best way. You always get an up to date car without having to build a new kit every few months and they always hold the conversion packs open to help people upgrade in one go for a sesnible amount of time (about 6-8 months usually). It's much better than having to buy a new car every couple of months (as the Xray on road boys seem to have to) or waiting 5 years plus for a new car (like AE) every time the opposition makes a big step forward.

Have a look on line for the SP manual, I think PetitRC have it, and you will see what you need to do. You won't regret it as the SP is just so nice to drive!
