Sounds like a plan. I've figured it will cost roughly $50.00 in the parts I need to convert it plus the brushless system and batteries, charger... Everything I take off is usable on my other Mad Force that is still nitro with an OS .12 RG. So, the dumb question, do I buy a 1/8 system that will come with the ESC and motor? I'm sorry, but I don't know what KV is. I think the lower the KV the faster it is or less windings in it? I don't need a super fast motor/ESC but would like something that would be kinda moderate. Should I be looking at Mamba or Castle or something else? Last question, it has a radio and receiver that is old style with crystals, is that okay to use with these systems?
