for me the conversions vs. ready-made topic is pretty close to kit/scratch vs. ARF debate. the ARF will many times come out cheaper especially if you consider you time worth something but you simply won't get the same satisfaction out of it! depends what you want out of the hobby.

even though i get most of my engines for free the end result would be expensive if i tallied up all the time and running around i do to get them converted. sure i could just buy a ready made hub and mount but that would take alll the fun out of it...for me anyways
