I think you are the only one in the world that would change a gas car to an electric it's usaully the other way around. The money and time you will spend on trying to change it over, I would leave the car the way it is, and seek a new electric car, you already have all the radio system to run an electric if you don't want to buy another radio system. Happy shopping!:D

I don't "want" an electric car.. I'd rather have an electric car and play once in a year with it than having a nitro car and not playing with it ever

My wife gived it to me couple of chrismas ago... So I cannot really sells it without "offending" her...

Well, I do not know if there are any after market kit's, I would suggest you try and make up some type of motor mount for an electric motor, maybe an after market titanium one that I have seen on some belt driven cars where it would bottom mount to the deck.

I still think you should buy an electric car, just take the body of the gas car and mount to a new electric car, your wife will never notice, meanwhile she will think your a genius for converting the car over??
