Default Is an acme conquistador convertable?

I bought this weird truck off of ebay and it sucks and I want to convert it into electric, is it possible? The truck is a 1/10 scale acme conquistador weird thing, I talked to a dude at my hobby store and he said I shouldn't of bought it.

You should never buy a truck made by a random company. You could convert it pretty easily, but it wouldn't be worth it.

How much did you buy it for?

I didn't think it was worth it, because I was thinking about getting a revo.

Do you remember the Roadrunner and Coyote cartoons. Nothing the Coyote ever bought from Acme ever worked.

I was just about to say the same thing, wouldn't the name "ACME" throw a couple of red flags from the get-go?

if you have a local / helpful hobby shop near by , talk to them about what to get next , to good to be true deals dont happen so much in rc , except when dealing with your local rcers , ray

Hey guy's I'm going to try to that acme piece of crap, because I just got a 1/16 E-REVO!!!!!! Anyway the e-revo comes with 6 cell nimh batteries what batteries should I buy for it, to make it run faster and longer? When I get the revo I'll ride it on the stock batteries to get the hang of it.
