Hi Bormac,
this thread was a huge inspiration about a year ago when I started looking into making a brushless version of the Burns myself. I just finished it last week. Noise pollution laws in Belgium have become very strict over the years and it is becoming more and more difficult to find places where one can drive or fly with Nitro. Being able to take this classic car out for a spin in the local park without worrying about the noise is absolutely fantastic. I will probably convert a run-down Turbo Burns and Turbo Inferno next.
Thanks so much for sharing your experience, I probably wouldn't have tried it myself if it weren't for this thread.
You can see more pictures of my "E-Burns" and my other vintage Kyosho cars on my Flickr page (click one of the pictures below).
