Hello


I am new to the electric world so please excuse my ignorance. I am from the UK and I currently race a nitro 8ight and 8ight T. Lately I have been reading on forums about brushless conversions and I was wondering if anyone could offer advice on a setup. I have read through the sticky guides which were useful at giving me the basic idea but now I want to try and decide on what components I will need/want. What sort of price will a brushless setup with li-po batteries be? I would like a good setup that had strong acceleration and a top speed of around 40MPH would be good. Is the size of the pinion gear limited or is this just down to personal preference? Also how long would I expect to get from one charge as I would really need about 25 minutes. Lastly (for now ) please could you tell me about how the braking system works and is there a way to keep the mechanical brakes? If so is it worth the extra effort? Sorry for all of the questions but I have a lot to learn before I can decide on the set-up that's right for me. Any advice would be really appricated.

Many thanks,

Kieran
