Thanks Safe for your reply.I have a gas engine motorized pusher now and really enjoy it.However I admit it would be nice to have a quieter rig.Its probably a fat chance but I was thinking of removing the gas engine and putting in batteries.I was under the impression electric was as cheap overall to run but after reading some of the threads here I guess I was wrong huh.Darn.It's hard though for newbies to go electric since as far as I can see there isnt a kit,at least not one worth anything for range and speed.Almost need a degree in this type of field to know how.
