converting to electric

[savagefan04]

hey guys i need some help/advice

with 2 young boys (under 3) at home i'm limited on my nitro drive time but i love my savage too much to just sell or shelv. its one of the original...savage 21....but its been thru several make overs and just keeps on ticking.

i've seen several videos of nitro trucks converted to electic/brushless and i'n thinking that may be the ticket to me enjoying her some more. My question is, how hard will it be to convert my existing savage to electric? Can I just buy the CC mamba max set up with some high end NIMH's or will i need to buy a higher end ESC and motor? Will I need to modify the chassis in any way?

lastly, as for the charger, i'm thinking i'm okay. i have a dynamite vision that charges the 3 major battery forms...nicd, nimh and lipo....

help me out guys...

thanks for the link RP, i'll take a look. as for the motor and ESc, will the CC mamba maxx work, or is the motor too weak?
