Just started this project. Hyperdrive chassis and mid-motor conversion kit for the 6-gear trans and rear buggy suspension. Transmission kit comes with modified plastic gear box halves, extended motor plate, gear covers for mid or standard mounting options and a hyperdrive belt kit.

That's a cool transmission. Hurry up and build it so we can see the end result.

Not much but the new case halves allow you to swap the output shaft to the other side of the housing. And the extended motor plate also allows mid or rear mounting options. With either option you want to keep the motor plate on the left side of the car.

I hope to have updates this weekend.

Sweet! I've never seen that chassis conversion either. I can't wait to see the end result.

Updated pics. Pretty much complete at this point. I have an andy's rear oval mount but it needs to be trimmed to fit the hyperdrive motor plate. Also need to get some links put together for the front.

that's an awesome looking car, doug!

i've always hated the wheel track difference front to back on those gearbox conversion pan car chassis kits. the agi-jammer is the same way.

I don't know it looks like that may be at 235mm, as the rims are run reversed offset. Looks super clean. On other conversions it seems as though like you stated the wheels are sticking out an extra inch.

the rear looks much wider to me.

i have a jrx2 agi-jammer. the front is at 8 3/8", but i can't narrow the rear up any more than 9 1/4"....... without making shorter arms. and that's with using CW rims, not pancar rears with the adapters. that'd be even worse. the only body that i've found that could possibly work on it is the mcallister 300zx.

Yeah I am eating my words now, although I would like to know what it measures out at. I wonder if RC10DS rear arms work to narrow the rear end any?

c.w. rims would easily put the rear of that under 9". i'd have to measure my terminator for an exact width.
