Nitro To Electric Help

[hvp014]

Hey I'm a nitro guy but was just asked for a trade. This would be my first electric car. My buddy has an AE TC3 with a Novak ESC and Fubata Controller and servo. Also a good running motor. He wants to trade that for my bone stock HPI RS4 RTR3. He said it costs $200 for the car, $75 for the ESC, $50 for the Controller and $25 for the motor. I paid $300 for my car, excellent cond. Is this a good trade? :( I've driven it before and enjoyed it very much. Also it was partly smashed by a car today and all that broke was a shock tower and wheel, so I guess it’s strong. :D Any help would be much appreciated.

If you want to go elec. and everything works on the truck go for it but remember you need some good battery packs and a charger too!:p
