If anyone has done it or would know how to do it it would be Paul Woods of Woodsport he is on IMOC you should check out his website and get in touch with him. He is super helpful and really knows his stuff :thumleft:

Talk to Eric Hux on Facebook, he's US based but I think he can sell you a kit.

The k-swap does seem a much more US/Central america thing where massive horsepower and straightline speed is king.

I haven't seen a UK one, but would like to...
