The chassis is completely different between electric and nitro. You would spend so much money you might as well sell that and buy a used Tmax.

I know but that wouldn't be as interesting. Besides I don't know anyone who would want the electric. Everyone I know is going to nitro

It really won't cost as much as you think it would, Ebay, you could get the parts for around 60 bucks minus the motor.

well ok lets see, you would need,
motor 90-250
motor mount 10-50
pipe 8-80
header 10-45
ez start or pull start
ex start wand
fuel tank 5-15
fuel line 1-3
fuel filter 5-15
chassis 25-80
chassis brace 10-40
rx box 5-8

min. price: 169 minus the ez-start stuff and probably a few i forgot
max price: 586 " "
so yeah it could be pretty cheap on ebay, but then again it could get expensive depending what you get

Nason,
what is your email. If I don't like the cost of conversion I will probalbly sell it. Yes, it runs great! Tough as nails also.
