I've seen this conversion done in magazines but not actually seen one in action. The review was generally favourable, though they weren't too impressed with the noise levels on the original (mixture of original lima gears and apparently getting the new motor drive gear properly meshed can be tricky). By the sounds of it, you should be able to make a decent runner using this conversion but you may have to put in a few hours work "tuning" it - checking gears for flash, cleaning and re-lubing, etc. I do know they have changed one key part of the design - think the motor gear is now factory-fitted rather than involving precise pressing together of parts as was originally needed. Hope this helps!
