Yah its possible. alot of thingsa are possible with these cars, but not practical. It can be done and if you have the righr equipment it wouldnt take too long. All you need is: take out anything that is needed for nitro, Fabricate motor mount, find place for ESC, and battery, and mount them, wire it all up.

I am using a nitro t-maxx chassis, but my truck is powered with an electric brushless hv-maxx. Look in my gallery for pics.

How would it be funny?
Electric have way more power than nitro motors so it would be funny to see the underestimaters faces when it creams their truck

There are a lot of people lately taking nitro monster trucks and 1/8 buggies and putting electric equipment in them .

Yes it can be done, but like some Nitro models have an Electric version. Converting such, I dont see practical, it would require some customization that would probably cost more than just getting the electric model.
But for other models without an electric version, now thats something else. In order to make that conversion to run at least like a nitro or even faster, it would require a brushless set-up. Dual motor setup like the E-maxx or E-zilla would work too, but BL is the way to go.
