campbellspurlock (who hasn't been on here in a while) has converted one, I don't think it was for himself, though.

It looks VERY nice in person. The guy at the store opened the box for me, but I didn't get a real good look at how feasible a BL conversion would be. Seems a waste not to use all that cool carbon fiber and shiny aluminum.

So, for the sake of easily/quickly getting replacement parts and overall price, it looks like the Jato is still my top pick. At least I'd be able to sell the motor and Tx/Rx on Ebay to recoup some of the cost. Too bad there wasn't a version without electrics and motor...

The Hyper8 is a good buggy from what I've seen so far.
There are 3 or 4 people running them (nitro) at my local track and they're pretty happy with them.

Electronics run on smoke... if you let the smoke out, they stop working.
