By the time you have bought a bodyshell, mounts, wheels, driveshafts (if they are different) and all the parts above plus anything else required then you might as well buy a new truck IMO.

Especially when you can buy a brand new Ansmann Pro spec truck for under £100 delivered and they are far better spec than AE SC10, the results from last year prove they are good as they dominated the National SCT championship

The newer mid motor trucks such as TLR 22SCT and Durango DESC210R are going to be a lot quicker in 2WD for 2013 season... there is also the Akula mid motor conversion for Ansmann/Team C trucks to consider.

The reason the Proline shocks are not available here is because they are a silly expensive modification that will not sell well when kit shocks are adequate.

How much are you looking to spend on owning a SCT?

Here you go matey:

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/X2SC-2WD-S...item20ce57b472

For the price they are very good and when there were 4 in the top 5 2WD's at UK SCT Nationals 2012 i find it hard to recommend anything else for a SCT newbie... especially when spares are so cheap and they use the easiest to find SCT wheel fitment all round too.

Bearing in mind just an unpainted SCT body is £30 - £35 you will be spending a lot to convert your T4 and still ending up with a truck which has probably well used parts driving it.
