Default 8ight-t electric conversion

Hi

I bought a 8giht-t roller from ebay that im going to convert into brushless.
I've hear good things about the tekin motors so im thinking about going with one but i don't know which one to pick, Im gonna run it mainly as a basher for now but im gonna try it on track when spring comes.
Anything else i have to have in mind, diff oils, servo choices, gearing?

What version were you able to pick up? 1.0, 2.0,3.0? Each will require a different setup.

The tekin motors are great and if you are running 4s, look for something in the 1700-2000kv range.
