If you're looking for a conversion kit and not just a mount -

Second on a CC combo. 2200 or 2650kv depending on what yoyu want to do with it, race or bash or maybe both.

have you looked into the gorrilamax chassis conversion? it is alot like the e-revo it puts your batteries on the bottom of the chassis. i liked that but i think it costs the most.

I have raced the Gorilla Maxx conversion for 2 years and it is bad ass. I run 2 5300mah 4S packs in parrallel, one on each side, and I can make a 30 min main with no trouble. Guys hated it because they could not make the run time I could. Look at the photos and you can see how low the batteryies sit in the truck.

On a side note I am looking to sell my truck cheap, I am building up a brushless truggy and need $$$ for it. I am selling it almost ready to go. All you will need is a receiver. I will include servo bec esc motor and battery packs.

yeah i wouldn't go 6s on a 2650, ideally the 2650 should see 4s or ppl even run 3s.

go 2200 for 5 or 6s

or tekin rx8 w/ one of the lower kv truggy motors
