| Hi: I have the orginal Traxster and would like to upgrade to the Traxster II. What parts can be reused and are the remaining parts available separately? Thanks, Lawrence

Lawrence, A Traxster upgrade is not a bad idea. If you like, I can work up a price. The motors/encoders, tracks, and front drive hubs will port over, but you will need new rear hubs/axles, chassis, and belly pan. The old drive disks will work too, but I would suggest getting the new ones, as they have a very smooth finish (reduces noise and friction losses quite a bit), and are easier to assemble to the hubs (larger tolerances). Best Regards!

| Lawrence, It looks like we'll be able to offer a Traxster II upgrade for $74.95, which will include the following new parts: - Powder Coated Orange Chassis
- Powder Coated Gray Belly Pan
- Powder Coated Drive Disks (8)
- New Aluminum rear axles
- Bolts/Nuts for Drive Disks and Rear Axles
Everything else can be ported over (motors, tracks, hubs). Best Regards!
