I think 5s is ideal in truggy if you think you want to make it through a 20min main, and the 1y even geared down maybe too much to handle on 5s lipo. I like my Neu 2.5d better on that voltage.. but a 1700-1800kv Neu or Medusa would do the job nice. You can run the 1y nice on the track w/ 4s lipo, but you will need some 6k or better packs to complete a 20min a-main w/o a swap.

How long it takes to install depends on the installer.. I'd say 3hrs maybe 4 tops when I did my conversion... as far as tuning the suspension and other items, that is just ongoing.
