Nice project. I'm on a similar mission at present but have opted to go with a Black Special hybrid, even updating the diffs by buying the torque splitter set. I already had the pink wheels n tyres so an easy choice for me, especially as I needed a full body set and samurai-japan2009 on eBay was selling at a reasonable price. I just picked some modern gold uprights on epay too. If you intend running it then maybe think about the black anodized alloy front and rear uprights (available at stellamodels and rcmart).
You might also want you look at the MFA RX15 motor, which appears to be a technigold in disguise.
