The cost of a conversion on something that size is just too high! Your going to need a GOOD motor, no Hobby city motor is gonna push that thing and not go into a thermal meltdown, so your looking at $300-$400 for the motor. HV is gonna be necessary and I don't know if 6s and a MMM will handle what this thing is gonna need. Then the batteries, even if you did wait around till HC had some lipos in stock your gonna need at least 2x 6s 5000+mah to get any runtime. So far that means you could get the better pipe for it and put about 150 gallons of gas through it before you come close to costing the same!

You hit the nail on the head. For 4-600 beans I could but a pretty decent motor in this thing and make it tear pretty good, oh, and it would still be LOUD AS SHIT! I love the torque of my brushless and actually they sound kinda cool too(like a little supercharger, without the motor lol) but this thing is loud, smells like your weed-wackin the grass and generally just makes a guy giggle.
