Converting a nitro to electric is very simple...I have done 6 in total

All you really need is a motor mount which you can buy here...Mike sells many different ones.

A battery tray which Mike sells here in many different sizes...or he will make you a custom tray to your desired specs....I have 5 custom trays from Mike. Drill a few holes in chassis to mount batt tray....done

convert to a single servo for steering and that is pretty much it

You can pick up used good rollers for around $ 200- w/spares, add motor mount and batt tray for another $ 90-, a good used radio system for another $ 125- or so, 1515 ccneu for another $ 150- and you should be in good shape.

Good truggy rollers to look for

1. mugen mbx6T or the older mbx5T
2. X-ray 8T-08 spec or 09 spec - 08 spec will be cheaper
3. Losi 2.0

Mike is also working on full conversion kits for some of the truggies as well..look in the RCM store under RCMonster parts
