Nitro MT2 electric conversion? - BJoe - 05-28-2008
First off.....Yes, you read that right:confused: And now the back story...........
I just scored a nearly new Nitro MT2 with out a motor and possibly bad front diff for a price that I really couldn't pass up My first thought was to cannibalize it for my Wheely Kings and sell the rest on here or RCCrawler, but remembered that there were big block conversions for these trucks and a Grey Head Axial .32 or Savage XL 5.9cc (fit well with one of the MT/MT2 Dodge Ram bodies
) would be pretty bad-arse in this truck, but I have no interest in nitro anymore so I scratched that idea (although Dad kinda liked it.) I then began to wonder if anybody ever made a conversion kit that would allow one of those high output systems for 1/8th scale BL conversions to be installed. Have you guys ever run across anything like that in your "travels"?

Yea, but that's was a whole different vehicle and I'm not too sure if that would hold up and the parts are pretty scarce.
