I am interested in the idea, love the sound and smell of Nitro

Please try to stay on Topic.

Any Ideas would be Great.

Status: offline 		I'm sure it could be done, but why would you? The trex 500 costs more than a 30 size kit to start with....
Lot of machining as locating a good power source. A 30 would be too big and heavy, maybe you could try with a 28 size car engine.

Status: offline 		If you have to ask "can it be done" then I wouldn't bother thinking about doing it. Everything can be done with enough time, patience, money (in no specific order). Obviously, there is no straight forward kit to just drop in a motor and with the rex being that new there probably isn't anyone who is doing or has done this conversion.

If you do it, I wouldn't be surprised if you were the one and only....whats the point of taking a great flying small electric and then stuffing it full of headaches and problems. I'd be willing to bet that you would only end up with a pile of parts in a trash bag or some half completed project. If you like the sound and smell of nitro, why not simply purchase a nitro?
