    Help needed with Nitro Conversion

    Hi,

    I've been given a Nitro SuperVee with no motor that I'd like to convert to electric.

    I'm told the radiobox is cracked but assume this can easily repaired with silicone and epoxy.

    i have a medusa 60mm 2000k that I throw in but it will need a water heatsink and motor mount.

    I'll post up some pics when I get it but any tips as to what i might need?

    I assume I can just use a waterproof traxxas 2070 for steering and a regular spektrum car rx/tx.

    Thanks in advance.

      Getting my toes wet picked up a nitro sv27 hull with hardware.

      - sealed the hull
      - made a motor mount
      - dropped in a medusa 60mm 2000kv and hydra 120 amp
      - 4s lipo

              I just filled all the holes on the hatch too... Didnt seem worth buying a new hatch for that..
