I have come across a jato roller for 40.00. Pretty much a deal that's almost too good to pass up. My question is does a electric conversion kit exsist for it? I am not really into nitro and don't feel like getting a new nitro motor.

I have not seen any, I am not sure if Tekno might be able to help out with that as they make brushless conversions for 1/8 buggies. Years ago the guys from RC Monster debated it, but I do not know where they got with it from there.

looks simple enuf if you are handy with tools. Did this myself for a nitro hawk awhile back.
