Please help a lost nitro guy convert to BL!!

[mk351e]

OK boys and girls, this is gonna be a long one, so be patient! I've been putzing around with nitro for some time and I like it; but I REALLY like the idea of BL!! I want to get a Losi Muggy this summer, and I would like to convert that. Problem is, quite frankly, I don't know where to start. This electric stuff is too damn complicated nowadays, and to top it off, when you read the 4 million threads on the web, 95% of what you guys are talking about looks like it's written in another language to a nitro guy!! TONS of abbreviations make it impossible for newbies! As if all that's not enough, there doesn't seem to be one place that really carries everything, there's lot of different manufacturers, and much of this stuff appears to NOT be for cars and trucks! Argh!

Anyway, I need some suggestions. Everyone seems to rave about these Neu motors, but man they're expensive. I'll get one if they really are that good, but are they??

Here's what I want to do: I want a Muggy, and I want it to go fast. REALLY fast. Faster than my Italian big block powered 1/8 nitro buggy fast. I want strong acceleration, but I don't need to do wheelies that flip the truck on a dime and throw it down the street because of all the power. A wheelie here and there is good enough. I want it to be reliable; I don't like maintenance (hence, the move away from nitro), and I need long runtimes: about 45min on 1 charge.

I'm guessing: one of those Neu motors (which one????), and a 6S 10000 LiPo, but from what company?? Also, I need a charger. What is good, cheap, and can plug into a wall???? What ESC?? What gears, and where to get them? My reason for wanting 6S: every video I see on youtube looks slow unless it's 6S in whatever vehicle.

Here's what I CAN handle figuring out: building, making it fit, suspension, custom cooling, radio stuff, etc. Basically, anything NOT related to BL/LiPo.

Here's how I'll use it: NO racing, occasional dirt track use with one other person, blasting across the lawn, some jumping, and lots of high speed passes up and down the block! LOTS of WOT!!! Not much "bashing", I don't like to break stuff.

So please help! It's driving me nuts! There's only 5 things to pick out here, and yet I'm baffled!
