How much is it for everything? I may be tempted if the cost is right, however looking at the previous post it seems that someone has not realised that this is way over the top. Too expensive.
DB1 conversion kit - £200 (reasonable price for what you get)
4wd buggy to use as a donor car - £309 or £350
Front end of the 2wd - possibly £50
So almost £550 or £600 for a 2wd. Guys I think you need to hurry up and get a full kit together and lower the price dramatically as this will put more people over to Durango and Losi. You can buy two new Losi buggies for less than the price of one of your cars which doesnt make sense.

The DB1 is never going to be a mass produced car that will challenge the big manufacturers, from what I have seen its a bespoke race car developed to be used at the top of the sport by a select number of drivers that want the best and are willing to pay for it.
The kyosho cars are not cheap to start with, so any conversion based on one will come at a premium. This is no different to the vega's and how many of those do you see at club level? Loads!!!
These too were classed as expensive, £279 for the WC RB5 and then £200 for the vega kit.. Not cheap but loads of drivers saw that it worked and was durable, so took the plunge!!
The bottom line is, if you want the ultimate, spend the pennies... If you don't then don't!!
