Hi Wayne, I had a Typhoon 2+2. You will need to be extremely weight conscious. After you take out the YS and the header and the muffler and the flooring and the throttle servo and the fuel tank and change your 1200 mah battery with a 480mah LiPo receiver pack, you will still be adding more weight than you just removed. You could use an 80 HV ESC, a Falcon V2 prop, a small spinner, small wheels and lightweight axles. Take out the motor mount and mount the electric motor on a carbon firewall. If you are not worried about the legal weight limit, you might be OK.
