Default Inferno GT brushless conversion ?

I am looking at converting my Inferno GT to brushless for local racing.

We have a very strong Nitro GT8 class going but a few of us would like to try out brushless as well. The discussion so far had been 4s lipo and approx a 1900kv to 2100kv motor. The track we race are fairly short, so higher KV or a 2 speed conversion may not be an advantage.

I have a GT1 roller and have looked at a few different conversion kits. So far the readily available kits I see are the Kyosho, Speed Passion & Kershaw designs.

The Speed Passion puts the motor on the Drivers side, while the Kershaw appears to put in on the passenger or servo side. Does one layout have an advantage over the other? Which would provide the best weight balance?

Anyone have experience with either kit? or have another kit to recommend?

Thanks
