My intention was never to run it as a nitro though, as I'm an electric guy. So I promptly ordered a conversion kit from these guys:

I already have a medusa 36-60-2200kv 4 pole brushless motor lying around from a previous project, along with an EZRun 80A (big honkin') ESC. I figure those will fit in nicely here.
The conversion kit is being machined currently, so it'll take a couple weeks to get it. No rush, as I'll take my time with this build.
