Upgrades outside of that are optional and can also be added to a non-conversion 5B. \

You could also buy a King Motors roller for $300.

all of it is optional, hence not required. So if you want to take that approach why change anything? Just get the Baja 5b for $1000 and run it with the supplied gas engine.

The overall idea is to make your 5b bulletproof and rid yourself of a vehicle that requires any kind of fuel to run it as well as limiting reapirs due to plastic parts breakage. Or if you just don't want to spend that much money, then go to Radioshack and get yourself one of those $100-$200 cheapo R/C vehicles and have at it.
