Guys,
I have a opportunity to pick up a brand new FG Leopard for a really good deal. I do not know much about the FG models is this worth getting? Can I convert this to a Baja? I really would like to run the Beetle body. Any help would be appreciated. I am going to set this up for Drag Racing and if it is not worth fooling with then I need to know.

I don't know. I'm sure others can help you with your question!

Unfortunatly the Leopard is a bit longer being its considered a true 5th scale like the HPI Baja.
The FG Baja and Marder, Beetle ect are a tad smaller and considered a 1/6th scale model, so I doubt you can get the Beetle body to look decent on a longer chassis, but I guess you'll never know, unless you try it!

The leopard was actually my first choice for a FG, until I found a couple of people at my bash spots had Baja's and marder's as well as The Forum members that run them at FBF. After that I was sold on the Baja/Marder.

Get the lepord if its cheaper it has its own buggy body and if u wind up not liking it hit law299 up he is a lepord fanatic.

is it possible to just change the chassis or is there too many parts involved?

yes and no the complete front end is diffrent and the rear engine mount are diffrent i think it will be to much, u can put the onroad bug body on that chassis are u looking for off road or on.
