Converting Cheap Electric to nitro performer
Hello,
Has anyone bought a cheap electric car and turned it into a nitro car?
I was thinking of buying a 1/8 scale F1 car that doesn't seem to much better than a Walmart car and making it glow powered.
I have no experience with RC cars, so how would the engine connect to the gearing, etc...?
Thanks!!

with the cost of buying a motor .pipe . it's better to get a nitro rtr . you'll get extra servo's and redios' to add to your collection. Think about it

Yea, I guess the overall price would come out to the same price for a new nitro.
What is the best priced Buggy or Stadium Racer?
Thanks
