Thanks! The conversion was by far the easiest of the three I've done. Everything just came out right the first time around. Unfortunately, I don't have access to a means to record video.

A couple weekends back, there was a Nitro Jato around and it seemed to handle quite a bit better than mine. I think that is because there is more weight on the rear end on the Nitro version. So, I installed the battery box rear skid and put some large washers in it. Seems to handle better, but the only local track within 1/2 hour is muddy so I haven't tried it out there. Like I said, I layed it out for on-road use to avoid wheelies so it makes sense.

I'm thinking of re-doing the battery area and seeing if I can't fit 4s lipo in there. That calculates to ~80mph. Of course, it won't be that high, but it should beat any Nitro Jato around here. Hmm, maybe for motor lengevity, I might just use 3s. :dft003:
