Looks great! Do you drift it indoors? I can only drift mine outside, so its nasty. I also had to make a full chassis skid for id
Thanks. I've only drifted it indoors. I was stationed in Okinawa for a while, that's where I learned. It's huge there. I thought Hawaii had a pretty good drift movement going? I know I've seen a lot of vids of indoor drifting in Hawaii.
For all of those other guys that haven't been into the hobby for a while and want to get into LiPO batts and brushless motors, I say go for it. I picked up my brushless (non-sensored) motor/esc combo for about $100. LiPOs are cheap now, too. Go for it!

It all looks so good! Make sure you take pictures along the way!

I'm sure Hawaii has a big drifting scene, I'm just not on the in
I have been drifting this car on my street for the last 7 years Back then they didn't even make drift tires, so I would cut up a piece of 2" ABS pipe. Still running on a set of pipe tires
I think my sidewinder sensor-less motor ESC combo was $120 three years ago? $15 for the USB link..
I used to have a Team Associated RC10GT way back in the day, but I sold it when I was in college because I was hurtin' for money. It had a Dynamite .12spd Paris dished cylinder and went like hell. Those were the days. I'd like to get another one some day.

See my garage for list of mods.
Yeah but when I researched it, it seemed the cost was almost as much as a new rustler
All you would really need is a motor/EXC combo ($100 and up) and probably a motor mounting plate, or an electric conversion kit with new gears and a battery hold down (depends on what the nitro gear pitch is). You can either use a regular battery for the brushless, or a lipo pack starting at $30 and up. It could get expensive if you buy one of the kits that move things around to change the weight balance, and add a lot of aluminum parts. Then you would be talking $130-200 just for the conversion kit, without the motor/ESC or battery. But I have to admit I'm not too familiar with the offerings for Traxxas'.
Last time I checked the brushless rustler was something like $350?

My cousin's RC10GT had a nice .12 back in the late 90's, he would beat my stock .15 every time
He sold it when he had his first kid, along with his 86' Mustang 5.0. I took the 5.0 sale harder..
