Great post, cspurlock!

I'd like to add that another option for an "easier" conversion is the OFNA Ultra series. The 51T nylon spur so many people are used to seeing on the Strobe slipper is actually a replacement spur for the OFNA Ultra center diff, so it's a direct fit.
Bear in mind that the OFNA Ultra series (Ultra LX Comp, Ultra MBX) aren't the higher-end racing buggies, but they can hold their own in the right hands and are a more economical alternative when considering the total cost of obtaining the buggy and converting to electric. These buggies typically cost from $275 to $325 in RTR form, while the more race-bred buggies can be over $400, $500, even $600 in kit form.

I'd recommend the best you can afford at the time you purchase, and also wanted to add this option.

Best of luck!

We'll see how my 3-year-old OFNA Ultra MBX Pro does in about a month :003:
