Honestly, with the amount of money you'll spend converting one of those (questionable quality) things to electric, you might as well just buy an E-Maxx or E-Revo.
Those trucks aren't well-suited to high horsepower anyway. You'll have troubles with it as a brushless truck, and won't be any better than a stock E-Maxx without brushless.
I'm not exactly sure where you'd put batteries either. You can't use electronic brakes or reverse because of the 2-speed so if you want to stop and/or go backwards, those 2 servos must remain.
It's certainly not impossible, and could be a fun project if you want to mess with something. But it's not going to be terribly practical and if you want something to actually get out and drive, you'd probably like an E-Maxx or E-Revo much better. :)
