What is even a good deal for a roller? (new/used?) What all should I be looking for?

So say there is a roller with nitro equipment stripped. What all am I looking at to get a brushless setup to run on the 1/8? I know using the controller brakes tends to make things hot...so mechanical brake setup (buy a servo mount)

Batteries are easy..can fab up a tray or buy one...

Motor mount I would purchase @ 45-50

Am I missing anything? Seems like a pretty easy conversion with the new motor mounts.

Those 9xl's are 35 bucks!?!? Damn the feigao's I used to run on the revo were like 2-3 times that price!

So what size motor would be suggested for 6s? Like a 7xl? Might see if I can swing the MMM And one of those 35 dollar motors.
