I have the same car and installed a Slot.it orange motor. Replaced the driveshaft spring with a plastic sleeve. Used an oilite bushing to support the driveshaft. Borrowed a friends Tire Razor to true the front wheels and tires. Swapped the stub axles for a solid axle. SCC bushing alignment tool positioned the SCC bushings in the rear. Gearing is 3:1 with Scale Auto crown being one of the best on the market. 15X11 SCC five spoke wheels shod with SCC 2112 silicone tires. Opted for SCC braid and lead wire. Sanded a minute amount from the chassis to allow for some body roll then buttoned it all up with SCC smooth shank screws.
Final analysis, it still looks like a Kleenex box on wheels but it sure knocks the snot out of the other front motors in my stable.
