Default ATTN: VTX-B1, RXB-1, Hurricane XTR owners... brushless conversion???

I've been looking all over... heck I've even emailed the Chinese for information on this one, even the company that HAD this "conversion" on their website. no one has yet replied on where I can get this conversion.

So my question to you fellas to whomever converted... what conversion kits will fit?

Well they don't actually sell a kit that I have ever found. I will tell you this though. The VTX-B1 seems to be the exact same model as the Redcat Racing Hurricane XTE. The parts fit mounting holes already drilled into the chassis. I only had to shorten one screw for the motor mount to make it work. That took a dremel tool and about 30 seconds to fix. Here is the part numbers you need to do a complete conversion. I also have pics of my conversion so you can see what it would look like after completion.

You might be able to hunt down a few of these on Ebay for a cheaper amount. I spent somewhere around $85 for all the parts together so I didn't complain too much since it all worked out so well. That cost does not include the motor or speed controller. That I had to buy separately.

Have any questions on the steps to complete it all let me know.
