If you have a truggy get the same brand as a lot of parts are the same. Also look to see what your lhs carries. If all that fails just get what you can find and afford. Associated and Losi both offer electric rollers so no conversion needed

I second (part of) E-Revonut's comments:
First step: check to see what the local hobby shop carriers.

I got a great deal on a kyosho mp777 roller last year, but the closest hobby shop that carriers parts is 75 miles away, so if I break something and don't have a spare I have to drive 150mi round trip or order off the net.

Other comments:
-Kyosho parts are expensive
-I have hear alot of complaints about the RC8 (I cannot comment on the RC8e though), I have not run one myself, so I am just the messanger.
-There are several at my track who run the 8ight 1.0 & 2.0 as well as the 8ightE, they all seem to like them.
-The Euro-brands seem to be popular, but as with kyosho, make sure you can get parts locally if needed (I broke my MP777 on a Thursday at practice, and I was down until Tuesday when the parts came in, it sucked).

I'm very happy with my rc8t conversion. Although not the same as a buggy they are simillar. I'm contemplating a buggy myself but I know when I do it will be an rc8
