            Jesse - been a long time buddy! I've been off the RC hobby for a while now though. I sealed it up with red electrical tape, other things could also be done. Still have that mini xxx?

                          I just HAVE to know exactly how and what you did to convert this to electric. I want to transform mine to look identical to this. A parts list and/or instructions are welcome. I would appreciate any help or knowledge you have to offer. Thanks from DFW Tx.

                            I don't know if the parts are still available or not but if memory serves me correct about all you have to do to convert a Miss Bud from me .15 nitro motor over to brushless electric is to order the parts that you'll need from the Miss Elam parts list. The Miss Elam is the brushless electric version of the exact same boat with a different name on it. You'll probably need the stuffing tube, prop shaft, prop, motor mount, motor, speed control, battery trays and batteries. I think one of the other main issues when converting these over to Electric was getting the hatch to seal up so the boat doesn't get so much water inside of it.

                            These days if I still had a Miss Budweiser I would run it as is or clean it up and keep it as a shelf Queen rather than going through the hassle of converting it to Electric. I would look around for a good used Miss Elam and p.m. Mono Jeff here on the board and have him make some Miss Budweiser decals for you to put on it. That would save you a whole lot of Hassle and make things much easier.

                              I would actually rather have the Miss Elam body but it's hard to find these days. I've seen that the budweiser's are mainly custom conversions (mounts, etc) for the reasons you listed. I really appreciate your time!
