This is a really good point. If a large company took a roller buggy or truggy (losi eight?) and instead of including the required nitro bits to finish it, had a bulkhead style motor mount and a plastic battery tray. Upgrade the radio box a bit and make it so that the parts directly fit on the nitro chassis. The only problem I can see is that there is not a complete "monster truck" capable brushless system. Plenty of esc and motors, but for electric to become more popular a complete system is needed. Look at how popular the Mamba max system is, wonder how many they have sold!? The MMM would definately sell with the availability of some larger scale electric vehicles. And we all know that most of the conversions are easy, if mfgs made the battery mounts and had good wiring management they would sell a fair amount of kit or roller electric vehicles.
