How to make a gas RC into fast electric RC

How to make a gas RC into fast electric RC
   You may want to make a gas RC electric as I show you for a few reasons. One methanol costs $30 per gallon after you drive to Hobbytown to get it. Two you don't like using fossil fuels for fun. Or three you have a gas RC with an engine that has low, compression like me. This can cost you about $40 on nitro rcx.com (not including shipping).

Step 1Take the engine off

take the engine off
   First you will have to take the engine, speed controlling  servo, battery case, and fuel tank off. If you stripped the head of the screw too much I suggest using a cutting blade on a dremel and grind through the center so you can make it a flat head.

i dont know what else they add to R/C engines but any backwoods race track has people who sell nitro-methane, or methanol for racing. Last time i checked it was about $10 a gallon.

That's correct. I race my Traxxas T-maxx at my local track. They can sell it to racers for a fraction of the store cost. though I never got it for only $10. I usually paid anywhere from $15-$20 for mine. If you don't have a local track, consider searching the internet for local r/c enthusiasts clubs. :)
