My Flux Conversion. HELP!

[ibanez890]

ok guys, I need help in choosing parts to convert this nitro roller over to an electric.

My budget is 600 UK pounds and NO MORE!

It has to be:

Brushless
Run on 5s
A way of mounting the motor/batterys

I have a few ideas in mind but i want peoples ideas and if possible to link Items.

I'm not looking for the most expensive parts, just something to run (if it brakes it brakes)

I'm not the type to be spending 400+ of my budget just on lipos and a charger.

I can't help you on the conversion from pounds to $, but here is what I would recommend:

1) Castle Creations Mamba Monster ESC w/ 2200KV motor - $250 USD
2) Kershaw Designs motor mount (http://204.186.93.64/SavageBrushlessConversion.htm) $70 + $50 for the battery conversion kits (I have a set too if you want pics)
3) Hyperion EOS 0606i 6A max AC/DC Charger w/Balancer - $120. Good charger in my limited opinion, give you plenty of options in terms of battery sizes, etc.
4) I would go 3S battery - get 1 for now, and a second down the road. Figure $100 for a battery, DON'T CHEAP OUT on batteries - they are the heart of the experience, and cheap can mean unstable.

Add it up, and you are at $590 - and that's with me shooting at middle-of-the-road numbers.

Hope this helps!
