Thanks guys, thats the kind of information I was looking for. 1k is a lot to spend on a R/C only to find it wasnt converted properly or have little customer service. I am glad to find thats not the case.

I was curious about the battery box using rubber o-rings. I might look into some type of cover to protect the battery/secure it better. I cant decide on what model to choose but I am leaning toward the CEN monster truck or the LSP.
