I tried this a couple of years ago, made a 25deg kick up out of alumunium and cut a b4 carbon battery strap to make a top deck. By making these parts myself i designed them so the original parts eg chassis would need no alteration (apart from b4 strap). I also made a brass weight to fit on the front drive output to balance the car when jumping think it was 40g. The car worked well on dry astro, but a bit loose in the wet. Also i found the bevel gears to be a problem....didn't seem to last. I will dig the parts out and post pics for you to see. Don't think i have a picture of my car with the conversion.
