The Top Force FRP chassis set should work, but you will need more parts to complete, there are a few guides for this on the web. Have a read of the link I posted earlier for more information on parts compatibility, also check here to see if looks like your Hummer: http://www.tamiyaclub.com/showroom_model.asp?cid=48983&sid=2193

And this is a pretty sick Top Force and Beyond build:http://www.tamiyaclub.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=31350

Sorry all my links are for TC, there are plenty on these forums too.

The item number for the Manta Ray FRP chassis set is 53099, but expect to pay a premium for that one. Better is to get reissue Top Force chassis plates and the J-Parts tree.

Otherwise, there is a very rare HPI FRP chassis set that you can use.

Add too that the alloy stand offs & steering post bag which are some $$$$$ too.

I was lucky enough to buy the hole conversion while they were cheap from e bay breakers. Pitty only bought 2 complete sets & one I have used already.

And 4 850 bearings for the steering. Can't remember if the body clips for the battery mounts were included with the screw bag or not...
