Thunder Tiger ST-1 1/8th Truggy BL Conversion: New Please Help
Okay I am finally giving in and going with the brushless craze. I was going to sell my ST1 truggy until I found two conversion kits but I need some tips on if what I'm choosing is a good choice or not...Anyone's advice or opinion would be greatly appreciated. Should I go with this conversion kit:
[link=http://www.okhobby.com/product.php?id_product=1082]OKHobby Infinite Brushless Conversion Kit[/link]
Or this kit:
[link=http://rcproductdesigns.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=1_87&products_id=319]RC Product Designs Conversion Kit[/link]
Okay now that's the conversion kit so what about the motor/esc combo? Should I go with this kit?

Or Should I Go with This Kit?
[link=http://www.nitrorcx.com/ezrun-brushless-power-system-combo-c4.html]EZ Run Brushless Power System Combo C4[/link]
Again can anyone please give me some input please and lead me in the right direction!
Thank you everyone in advance

the conversion kit i myself like it comes with the battery hold down case and strong looking motor mount... the first esc combo i dont think is for 1/8 scale, the 2nd combo you have picked looks good,, i run 2 hobby wing units in a emax and a ofna truggy.

i run 2 of these combos and i bought the program card seperat and it was even a bit cheaper.

The okayhobby kit's battery tray is 150x55mm vs 170x53m..would that limit my battery choices? I only intend to run 6s also whats their shipping turnaround time?

I went with the RC Product Designs kit because the OK Hobby kit battery tray was too small for my lipo needs and I support American Made products over Hong Kong!
I'm also going with a Tekin T8 2000KV Motor/ESC combo being that I found a Tekin kit from a store for only $279 which is the same as the hobbywing kit!
