Has anyone ever converted a large Wal-mart Hummer before? Larger lelectric motor, mabey gas? Would this even work? Thanks

I bet it would work, but most likely wouldn't be worth it except for the tinker factor. you'd probably have to upgrade the geartrain to handle the extra power, and go with better axles/suspension and stuff. The frame works probably not be strong enough for the increased power, and the energy of the potential (inevitable?) Crash.

Thanks for the info, took one apart servo went bad, was thinking about doing something with it other than throwing it away. Just to slow
