Obviously you don't know me, but that's not a problem at all.
I'd actually prefer to share a CAD drawing, but I know people take (dis)advantage of this, thus I will not share (or draw at all)
The problem with "releasing" a conversion kit is quite simple. People don't want to do a lot to the car. Modifying cars like "we" did 10 years ago (and 20 years back even more, but I didn't do RC cars 20 years ago - I was 7 back then
) is rarely done. People are scared to try things and prefer factory things. Believe me, the Yokomo guys have more modified parts than any of may dream of. That's what makes them fast and "us" slow. The real fast guys do a lot more to their cars than we do. Obviously nobody thought about the "Y-Max", but they did it, and that made them one step ahead.
To conclude this post, why I didn't even THINK about a conversion kit? Those 10 people that want to run a conversion can hack one together, it's a bit - even though I like Yokomo - waste of time to develop a conversion kit for a couple of sales. My opinion? If you want to convert, hack something together. Try it yourself. It's not that hard. If you are scared or too lazy to do it, wait for a conversion.
