It really boils down to what YOU want to do! If making it a BE is what you want by all means I think you should. I do agree that for the cost you should just build the new kit or just get the RC Monster conversion. I have both cars and the RC Monster conversion is really really good, the car handles great! The BE is just a different animal, and I really like it better. It is better balanced which in my mind keeps it very stable allowing it to be pushed harder than the conversion. The BE launches off jumps and flies very straight and is overall a better car than the conversion IMHO. Anyone looking for a converted one hit me up!
