First, welcome to RCM! You will be able to do more on a track w/electric vs. nitro. They are much quicker for starters...given your setup, you should be able to get 12-15 mins. per battery, depending on setup...maybe more. If you need a complete converson, Mike sells all the parts you need to convert it over...motor mount, battery tray. You can have Mike make a custom size tray made to fit your batteries if you so desire. All my vehicles have custom trays made by Mike and it is well worth the extra $ 12- IMO to insure the batteries fit nice and tight.

Any ideas on how many cells you are going to run or motor, esc choices?
