Looking for Info on 1/8 Scale e-Conversion

Hello,

I am wanting an electric 1/8 scale buggy, but I am having trouble finding info on the conversion process. I am a R/C Airplane/Heli flier who has started getting into R/C cars. I am all electric, some of my airplanes are 2000+ watts. So electric isn't new too me, just cars.

There is a local track I want to drive at, everyone there is running 1/8 scale buggies or truggies. I have drive my 100% stock e-Maxx there, but it is lacking!

I was thinking about the Ofna 1/8 Ultra MBX R2 Buggy 80% Prebuilt kit, is this a good conversion canidate?

Thanks

Brian
