Default EK4 brushless conversion

Hi everyone I have 3 EK4's and one of my engines have gone so I'm thinking about converting one to brushless, having no real experience with electric cars I'm a bit miffed on where to start, what motor to get that will give me the same kind of power the pro 70 produces and what motor mount and esc I should be looking to buy. If anybody could give me a few pointers I'd be really grateful. Thank you in advance.

For a basher, you're much better off going the cheaper option of either;
Hobbywing Xerun 150A-SD ESC + 4274SD 2200KV Motor
OR
Hobbywing Xerun 150A-SD ESC + Tenshock X812 1900KV Motor

Cheaper, but just as reliable and powerful.

As for a motor mount, I'm not sure what you can use with that truck. Someone else should know though.

Thanks lads, it is going to be a basher so would be looking more at the xerun 2200kv motor, just need to find out what mount I'd need to get now so I can get my conversion started.
