I inherited a dilapidated Gen1 chassis from my sister's ex-boyfriend. It's a sad sight to behold, two steps away from the tiny wrecking yard in the sky. Apparently he had even busted the wheels, and the body was a total loss, because this is literally all that was left.



But I'd like to rescue it, and bring it back to life as a kickass race/drift car!

I'm guessing everyone has their dreamlist of mods and upgrades you'd do if cost and time were no object. What would you do for this poor unfortunate car to make it a winner?

Lithium?
2x3 Fet Upgrade?
Go AWD?
Aluminum chassis?
Maybe just put some wheels on it and run it naked?

Not trying to steal your top-secret ideas... just want to see what kind of imaginative modders are out there who've done some daydream shopping. I know I do it for my 1:1 scale car all the time - fill an online cart with all the sweet parts I wish I could order. What's in yours?

First off, Welcome to the forum!! Read the rules, stay safe and have fun!

My dream is about to come true. Heres what I'd like. Just with a flat black chassis and CF decks.



As for you, I'd recommend getting some rims and a body to bash around in for now
