Nitro to Brushless Buggy/Truggy Conversion

Hey Guys,

Ive been outta the RC game for a while, but recently a good buddy of mine got a few RC's and has been nagging me to come out and bash with him. After checking out his setup, I decided that I really like electric (I have a Nitro Tmaxx and a nitro XTM buggy). It requires much less messing around with tuning and doesnt piss the neighbors off with the noise. I would kind of like an electric set up that I can run when I dont want to mess with tuning the finicky Nitro

I still like my nitro RC (so I dont want to get rid of them both) but would like to add an electric beast to the collection. Now I am trying to figure out which avenue to take. I have been traveling for the past four months and the bank account is a bit low, so im trying to do it on the cheap (atleast as cheap as possible).

I really love my Nitro XTM buggy. Has a good stance, I can jump it in the dirt as well as take it on the street. I was thinking about converting it to electric. I have been following the recent threads where members are converting there Nitro 1/8 buggy to brushless electric, but I couldnt quite follow the entire process. I would prolly need your guys' expertise with the conversion, since Im not quite sure exactly what I would need. (In addition I also thought about buying an e revo roller and building up a brushless lipo rig, but seems like e revo rollers are more money than I want to drop right now).

I would eventually like to convert it to a Truggy, but will probably keep it as a buggy until I get all the kinks worked out of the system.

A very helpful person on another forum was assisting me to figure out what I need for the conversion. This is what we have worked out so far:

-The MMM combo with the 2200kv motor
-Battery Tray
-13t 5mm bore mod1 pinion
-Fine Design engine mount to bolt up to the XTM (im currently inquiring via email about it cause it isnt advertised on the webpage but I believe they sell one)
- I have yet to decide on the lipo/charger/balancer setup



Anyhoo, just wanted to get some more expert opinions since I am new to the whole electric scene before I order the MMM (was thinking about doing it tomorrow). Are there any major things that I am overlooking, or things that I need to buy? Is this conversion an allright Idea (keeping in mind im trying to keep costs low by using the roller I allready have).

I would appreciate your input! Thanks!
