I would go for it and turn it into brushless. Certainly a great chassis, imho.

lol, you're lucky. In the UK, you walk into a hobby store and start talking about brushless, they think you've gone absolutely mad. "Nitro is waaaayyyyy faster than electric," etc etc......... :rolleyes: .........Brushless has yet to hit the British shores......

I think the helfire is an awesome looking truck and would make a rocket ship :p if converted to a brushless lipo beast. Check with Mike and see what kind of deal he can get you. I've not heard anything bad about it.

Undoubtedly. With nitro, you can get a larger engine or use higher % fuel, but with electric you can get more powerful motors/batteries, which easily makes electric (brushless) better.

Brushless has to be seen to be believed! Plus I think having one nitro and one brushless truck will be a nice combo.
