guys that converted 8ight truggy to E

Well, the electric conversion may start sooner than I anticapated. I am so sick of nitro, I'm having a heck of a time getting this 454 motor running right. Heck, I've burned 3/4 gallon. Plus I hate the starter box, with a pation!! I have the brand new 454 that came with my RTR that maybe I can get a few bucks for. plus I need two new batteries for my jump box, I would rather put 65 bucks towards the E conversion.

So, I know the downsides to the nitro, but what are the downsides to the E? Besides the obvious initial cost. How many charge cycles do the batteries last? Also, are the losi batteries/chargers pretty good. Probably gonna do 2 4s and 1 5s. Thanks guys
