Very true Metallover. I personally have a brushless conversion :)

I agree also. I was originally bugged a little by the buggies and truggies that were enetered into that contest last Decemeber - these guys bought Mike's mounts and battery trays and just screwed them in (not all of them of course...gotta exxagerate a little bit, though!!).
The days of spending weeks grinding the revo chassis into toothpicks and making our own battery trays/esc mounts are gone, me thinks....

I got a personal hygene kit and threw away the hairbrush. Does that count as a brushless conversion?

Fuuny to hear the words "personal hygene" come from you dude... You need to google that and get some more info before you go and get our hopes up...

As far as conversions go, well there are still people (cough cough) that like to do conversions the old fashioned ways! Take Metalman for example, he seems to like making things, and does it by hand too... There are still plenty of people who like to make their own stuff, and then there are people who like to buy stuff and just assemble it...

I like a mix, on the muggy I have one of mike's motor mounts, but made my own battery, esc mount and battery tray mounts... If I had to buy everything pre-fab I would not be able to afford to have all of this stuff!!!

I do agree that putting a bl system in an emaxx or erevo does not count as a conversion. All that was done was to bolt in stuff. But if it makes the less initiated feel more like me I can't really give them a hard time, everyone strives for perfection, and few can get to my levels... (please note how modest I am)

I agree with you linc, im kinda in the same boat.. I Make my stuff by hand- but its not always the best quality and i end up replacing it with manufactured stuff

Its always good when people asked who made XXXX, and you go "me"

My stuff, when made by hand, is because I like to design my own parts and it would be far too expensive to outsource the work when I can do it myself! And even for you, you're doing stuff that is unique to you. Now, just wait for my next project thread to show up...

The title Brushless retrofit would be more fitting for those who want to give a name to removing brushed motors and replacing them with brushless IMO. Conversion implies switching from two quite different things (think of religion - converting a muslim into a mormom

)
