Default Need upgrade advice

hey everyone, so i have a honey bee cp2 that i was looking to upgrade, the biggest upgrade i wanted was to convert it to belt.. so my cp2 has the 6ch reciever and 3 8g servo's, i have already ordered another 8g servo and a gyro, i plan to go brushless, but brushless systems nowaren't to expensive, i was wondering if anybody had any advice on what kit to get, i found the exi 450 plastic edition for only 37 bucks on xheli.. but im not sure if thats what i want yet, (i saw it somewhere else for 25 bucks! but i cant seem to find that website again) i have ruffly $100, thats to get a barebone kit and a brushless system, thanks! 8)

Why try to convet all that to a belt tail and brushless, why not buy a Bare Bones Belt CP and add the brushless motor and move everything else over to the Belt?
The servos and TX/RX and new gyro will worl fine just need to add a larger battery and you are flying a larger more stable heli.
There is nothing wrong with teh Hone Bee CP just that bigger is better for flying in adverse conditione.
Here is a link to who I get all my stuff from and has a great deal on a Bare Bones Belt CPv1

White https://www.ushobbysupply.com/produc...products_id=73
Just an idea
