    miss vegas bl conversion?

    obviously people have done this but here is my issue, I want brushless no matter what and the miss elam or ul-1 seems to be the ticket here, but their hulls are in the smaller size. I would like something a bit bigger so thats why im asking about the miss vegas conversion.
    is it as simple as adding a motor mount and battery trays or do i have to swap out the flex drive strut ect? can someone give me a few pointers on which way to go im new to the whole boating thingymabob.

    should i just buy a miss elam brushless and go with it or buy a new vegas and convert?

    If you are new to boats, you might want to get a RTR boat like the UL-1 or Elam that you suggested. Get your feet wet a little before you dive in. Unfortunately, I don't think there is anything larger (Vegas size) as an RTR.

    I am in the process of converting a Vegas, but I'm not deep enough into the project to give you any advice.....other than it might take some glass work to get the cowl to seal. As it is, they tend to bring in a little water (at least my nitro one did).

    Use the "search" feature. Several people have done the conversion and there is a ton of good info out there!
