Be careful, you hiccup anywhere along the way and it's tata to the chasis.

You have to drill a very small hole in a very small part..like a spur gear and the AFX front hubs...DANGER. This will of course make the gear useless on another Zip.

Replacing the front hubs is a pain in the arse! AND you gotta drill out the AFX hubs just a micro hair so they spin freely. All your holes MUST be perfectly straight or you'll get play, which could cause slippage if it happens with the gear.

I'd say go for it only if you have a few spare Zips and parts laying around and you're willing to have a whole parts car if you screw up.

This was a scary mod. I need to figure out how to drill micro holes in micro parts consistently.
